The story in brief
6-second readGOAL sits down with a card collector who has gone to great lengths to capture the Irishman's footballing history on wax
From the source
Owning the ultimate collection of Keane trading cards was never Dan's grand plan, but it quickly became obvious that the United icon would be his main focus in the hobby alongside Fulham.
He has also gained a greater appreciation of Keane's unique character since seeing him transition from the pitch to the punditry chair. "In the same way that the club chooses you, I think your collection chooses you, and that was it with Roy Keane," he says.
"When I was starting my collection, I wanted a particular player that I felt something towards. With him, it was the nostalgia aspect, growing up supporting him.
