Ex-Sunderland boss Keane slams "clown" Clarke

Former Sunderland boss Roy Keane admits he has no time for his former defender Clive Clarke.

Keane has no fond memories of his former player Clarke, recalling a match at Stoke, where Clarke had been a player.

He said: "I swear he actually thought he was Stanley Matthews coming back to them . . . kissing everybody. He got back on the bus with presents for his baby, delighted with himself. He went on loan to Coventry, and on a night we got beaten in the cup by Luton, the staff came in and said he had had a heart attack at Leicester. I said, 'Is he OK? I'm shocked they found one, you could never tell by the way he plays'.

"Clarke goes and does a piece in some newspaper telling the world that I have lost the dressing room. He wasn't there! How does he know? Clown!"
