Keith's Bio

A lover of all things football, Keith is a die-hard Manchester United fan. The love blossomed in the 90's watching the enigmatic and silky Frenchman - Eric Cantona. And although a huge admirer of current Manchester United stars, he still misses the unique striker to the extent that he routinely wears his collar up and kung-fu kicks his friends in rememberance of his hero.

He experienced one of the greatest nights of his life recently when he ventured out for the Champions League final between United and the Blues and what a final it was! What followed that was the consumption of many, many litres of alcohol in a celebration of his team's emphatic victory.

Keith enjoys writing Manchester United based articles but tries his best to stay objective and unbiased. A Sports Journalist hopeful, he has enrolled in college to help him achieve his goal.

Keith is also extremely fond of the sport of his homeland Ireland, with Hurling his preferred activity of the Emerald Isle. Keith was born and raised in the "sunny south-east" of Wexford town and still somehow remains proud to be from a place that basically lied to him, not once has he seen the sun of the "sunny south east" in the last six months.

A proud Irishman, he follows the Ireland national side with pride and hopes that Trapatonni can lead the men in green and restore their former glory.

A happy go lucky guy, he enjoys socialising, the pain of tattoo's, the exhilaration of a Manchester United victory, the simple sarcasm of life and a good pint of Guninness.

Keith welcomes you to enjoy his articles and urges you to comment and rate freely.

Keith Writes About

The Short List facts and information about Keith Griffin

Favorite Athletes

For Manchester United: Paul Scholes, Wayne Rooney, Eric Cantona, Nemanja Vidic, Gabriel Heinze(even if he did want to commit the ultimate treachery), Anderson, Ryan Giggs, Ruud Van Nistlerooy and Cristiano Ronaldo(if he stays!!) Outside United: Fernando Torres, Kaka, Michael Essien, Cesc Fabregas, Brad Friedel, Guti, Wesley Snejider, Klass Jan Huntelaar and Karim Benzema. But Greatest Player Ive ever watched and hail as my all time favouite, Roy Keane. Manchester United and Irish legend, the like of which will never be seen again.

Favorite Sports Teams

Manchester United. Im a die-hard red and my only regret is that due to my geographical location I cant get to many games at Old Trafford!!!

All Time Sports Moment

It was 1999, the all famous treble winning year. I still remember where I was when I watched the Champions League final and it will stay with me forever!! A more recent one would be United beating Roma 7-1. A game of pure footballing genius.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

Denis Law/Alan Shearer joint record of 46 goals in one season. Ronaldo and Van Nistlerooy have come close but it looks like it will be a long time yet before it is broken.

Jordan or Russell?

Jordan of course!

Pele or Maradona?

Pele

Federer or Sampras?

Nadal

    Hey Mate,

    I hope all is well for you. What did you think about the Carling Cup win over Middlesbrough? It was good to see some of the young players come in and do well. Shame about Possebon though. God help me if I ever meet Pogatetz! I hope it won't be as serious as it looked. Good to see us get a win though!
    All the best,
    Jeff
