Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is delighted with the impact of new No2 Roy Keane. Former Manchester United captain Keane was as hard as they come on the pitch and has been equally brutal as a manager and tv pundit.
"He loves a laugh, he's not just serious," said Lambert.
"It's been great for me and everyone else at the club. It's been good.
"I think he's given everybody a boost, he's given the whole club a good lift.
"People probably see Roy as this - I don't know - a stern faced guy who doesn't really laugh.
"But when you get to know him he does like a good laugh.
"You've got to have that, you must have the difference from being serious to really kind of chilling out as such."
