1997 single by Morrissey

Leer másThe single reached number 42 on the UK Singles Chart. Its failure to reach the top 40 meant a performance of the song recorded for Top of the Pops did not air until it was shown on Top of the Pops 2 in 2003.
The title refrain is a pun on the name of former Manchester United footballer Roy Keane – as Morrissey acknowledged during live performances of the song[when?] by changing words to "never seen a keener midfielder". The song was played over the closing credits of Keane`s 2002 documentary As I See It.
Despite being released as a single, the song was omitted from Maladjusted`s remastered CD reissue in 2009.
