Roy Keane

Leading barrister with expertise in: Sports Law

Appeared for Prosecution. Misconduct charges arising out of his autobiography and a tackle on Alf Inge Haaland. Acted for the FA. On whichever side you appear, you certainly don’t want to be against, Jim. Roy Keane attests to that, writing in Chapter One of his recent biography:

…The FA has a murder lawyer. A big shot up from London. Jim Sturman. He was absolutely brilliant; he had me on toast…

And if there was any doubt…

…He ripped me to pieces – the Fucker. It was his job, to rip me to pieces. I kept thinking, “I wish he was on my side”.
