<\/p>\nRoy Keane was once banned from a Manchester United Christmas party \u2013 with his team-mates told not to go anywhere near him.<\/p>\n
The midfield hardman had enjoyed a night out with the team\u2019s reserves which resulted, in his words, a \u201cbit of bother\u201d in Manchester city centre. Word of the trouble got to back to Sir Alex Ferguson. <\/p>\n
The legendary Old Trafford then brutally told the other first-team players not to go anywhere near the Irishman on their festive booze-up. Keane regaled the sad, albeit amusing, tale on The Overlap\u2019s Stick to Football show with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright and Jill Scott. <\/p>\n

\u201cRemember when I got banned from the Christmas do at United once?,\u201d Keane said to Neville. \u201cThere were two dos. I might have been injured. The reserves were having a night out. I went out with the reserves and there must have been a bit of bother in Manchester or something. Obviously, I was trying to be the peacemaker. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe first-team lads were going out one or two days later. Ferguson came in, in front of everyone, and said anyone seen drinking with me that day would be fined. So I wasn\u2019t allowed to go to the Christmas do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seemingly unaware of the incident in the question, Neville asked: \u201cWhen was this?\u201d Keane replied: \u201cChristmas,\u201d prompting laughter from the fellow guests.<\/p>\n
The former Sunderland and Ipswich manager then added: \u201cI ended up having a Christmas do by myself.\u201d After leaving Wright shocked by his one-man party revelation, Keane added: \u201cI went out by myself. I went round Altrincham, I had a great day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Keane had a distant relationship with Ferguson, revealing recently he never allowed himself to get close to any of his managers. He said on Sky Sports earlier this month: "That was never for me. I never believed in being 'pally' or close to any of the managers I worked with.<\/p>\n
"[I] never had a bond there [with Ferguson], absolutely not. People like to believe that we had a good relationship, I probably had two or three private conversations with the manager during my time at the club."<\/p>\n
