Roy Keane, that fucking butcher. They don't make footballers like that anymore.

The Duke of Wellington is claimed by Englishmen *and* Irishmen. Now, a Nigerian transplant is seen as more Irish than an American of fully Irish descent because "you're a just plastic Paddy if you don't live here, you embarrassing Yank".

I don't know why the Irish would claim him. He wasn't fond of the Irish.
