1990–91 Pro Set England — Roy Keane #175 — Nottingham Forest
1990–91
Roy Keane is still a Nottingham Forest player here, before the Manchester United captaincy and the public persona that later followed him everywhere. As a result, the card reads less like a star collectible and more like a snapshot of a career still taking shape.
