On the eve of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, Ireland was rocked by one of football’s most infamous controversies. Team captain Roy Keane, known for his fierce professionalism and unrelenting standards, walked out of the squad’s training camp in Saipan after a heated clash with manager Mick McCarthy. Frustrated by what he saw as poor preparations and lack of ambition, Keane’s departure divided fans and teammates alike. Some saw him as a hero standing up for excellence; others, as a deserter abandoning his country before its biggest stage. The fallout remains one of Ireland’s most dramatic sporting moments.
