Roy Keane reopens the feud with Haaland's father after breaking his leg 30 years ago: "He seems to drink alcohol"

Erling Haaland's father, Alf Inge Haaland, has reignited his 30-year feud with Roy Keane, the Manchester United legend who ended his football career in 1997 with a savage, premeditated tackle, following England's victory over Norway in the quarter-finals of the 2026 World Cup.

Haaland's father took to Twitter to congratulate "Bellingham and the referee," claiming that Norway had been "robbed" by French referee Clément Turpin, who disallowed a second Norwegian goal after a VAR review determined that Haaland's son had fouled Elliot Anderson.

Keane later suggested on the 'Stick to Football' program that alcohol might have affected Alf Inge Haaland's judgment of what was happening on the field, "because he always seems to be drinking alcohol during matches."

"If you're drinking, you see the game differently," noted the 54-year-old former Irish footballer, who played for Manchester United from 1992 to 2005.

The day Roy Keane ruined Haaland's father's career: "Fuck him... An eye for an eye"

Roy Keane was the player who intentionally injured Alf-Inge Haaland, Erling Haaland's father, who was playing for City at the time, in 2001.

With this tackle, Keane got his revenge for a challenge on Alf-Inge Haaland in September 1997, which resulted in the Manchester United player suffering a torn ligament that sidelined him for the rest of the season. Haaland's father, who played for Leeds, mocked Keane on the ground and accused him of faking it... Roy Keane never forgave him.
