"People react differently when Roy Keane is around. Men who are ordinarily chatty, go quiet. Over the years, I have seen some fans try to provoke him and have also witnessed plenty of fans want a piece of him."

Is Rooney is an England great or not? That's the question which has been sending you into a frenzy today. Here are a few of your thoughts...

Nathan, Manchester: Wayne Rooney honours - 5 x Premier League, 2 x League Cup, 1 x European Cup, 1 x Club World Cup. Club apps 527, club goals 236, national caps 99, national goals 43. And we still debate his greatness?

Simon, York: Rooney is an England great, emphasis on England. We'd have more success playing gritty, hard tackling English football yet players like Lee Cattermole and Ryan Shawcross don't get a look in. We should try and be a great England rather than a poor Spain in my opinion.

Rob, Newbury: Bobby Charlton won Footballer of the year, the Ballon d'Or, selected for TWO World Cup all star teams and the all-time WC team, highest ranked Englishman in the UEFA Jubilee poll, won pretty much everything at club level. The greatest English and England player ever.

Wolves moved to sign striker Danny Graham on loan from Premier League side Sunderland because forward Yannick Sagbo was recalled, external from his loan spell at Molineux by Hull City.

Graham, on loan at Wolves until 31 December, has made only one appearance for Sunderland this season, in their 2-1 League Cup loss to Stoke in September.

Andy Murray might be no more but the tennis goes on and there are two tasty-looking matches at the ATP World Tour Finals in London today.

Novak Djokovic could ensure he ends the season as world number one if he beats Tomas Berdych in a match starting in a couple of minutes at 14:00, while Stan Wawrinka takes on Marin Cilic in the other group game at 20:00.

We'll spare you all the exact permutations - even Einstein would struggle to figure it out - but, put simply, at this stage all four players could still qualify for the semis.

Live coverage of the Djokovic match is on BBC Two and Radio 5 live sports extra, while Wawrinka-Cilic is on Radio 5 live sports extra. There will be full text coverage, of course, on the BBC Sport website too.

We've already told you the Friday Sports Panel is on Radio 5 live right now.

Here is a little of what you missed when the panel discussed the issue of Ched Evans, and how Jessica Ennis-Hill wants her name removed from a stand named after her by Sheffield United if the club offers Evans, a convicted rapist, a contract.

Rebecca Adlington: "I think the decision is fair enough from Jess. She is such a well-known figure, especially in Sheffield. Being a role model in the city for young people is a huge honour for her."

Yorkshire CCC head coach Jason Gillespie: "I personally think it has been a complete PR disaster by Sheffield United to even consider going down this path. I think wise heads should prevail and the right thing will be done."

Rugby union side Wasps have completed the full purchase of the Ricoh Arena in Coventry.

In October, the Premiership team bought Coventry City Council's 50% stake in the stadium, and they have now acquired the remaining shareholding from the Alan Edward Higgs Charity.

Luis Suarez can't play in competitive international games, He is serving a nine-match suspension for - and you may recall this incident - biting Italy's Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.

But he can play in friendlies and guess what? The Barcelona striker got on the scoresheet for his country in Uruguay's 3-3 friendly with Costa Rica on Thursday. Uruguay won 7-6 on penalties.

It was a revenge of sorts for Uruguay, who were beaten 3-1 by the Costa Ricans in the World Cup group stages in Brazil.

Some breaking news from the Championship... Wolves have signed Danny Graham on loan from Sunderland until the end of December.

Graham, 29, has had a disappointing time at the Stadium of Light since his £5m move from Swansea, making just 11 league starts without scoring a goal in almost two years.

Before that though, he'd grabbed goals aplenty at clubs like Watford and Carlisle so it will be interesting to see how he goes on at Molineux.

Tune in now, should be a belter.

We know what it's like. You've busy lives to lead, you can't be sat following our coverage every moment of the day. So, being the nice types, here is a summary of what's happened so far.

Football: German judge Hans-Joachim Eckert tells the BBC he is "surprised" by public criticism from Fifa counterpart Michael Garcia over the report on the bidding for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

Cricket: Australia fast bowler Mitchell Johnson has been named both the cricketer of the year and Test cricketer of the year by the International Cricket Council.

Tennis: Andy Murray says he may need to make "some changes" to his game after his 6-1 6-0 mauling at the hands of Roger Federer.

Golf: Ian Poulter led the Turkish Open by three shots, before play was suspended because of a thunderstorm.

Meanwhile, as we've mentioned Caterham, administrator Finbarr O'Connell has told the BBC the team is packed and ready to go to the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi.

That has so far raised £1.4m, external but O'Connell said: "If we haven't reached the target, what we are potentially going to do is make the decision to go to Abu Dhabi and finalise things over the next few days."

He added: "Everything's packed and ready to go. We are literally waiting for a contract to be signed (with a driver) that will press the green button. We're all just running around at the moment."

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner says Formula 1's front runners have no obligation to help smaller teams.

Marussia went out of business this month and Caterham's future is in doubt after going into administration.

"It's not our responsibility. We are a team competing in a championship," Horner told BBC Look East.

"You don't see Man United helping QPR. Our obligation is to race and to compete within the rules."

One thing that might just have made Andy Murray smile during his Federer mauling is this punter and his cheeky sign.

The lucky spectator was sitting right behind Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho during the Murray match, though whether he really did flog his motor to be there is unknown at this stage.

Andy Murray's column for BBC Sport is up on the website now and contains plenty of soul-searching about that hammering at the hands of Roger Federer.

He also says the defeat hasn't done him any good of another important engagement next week.

"I've got my friend Ross Hutchins's wedding and I'm the best man - I can't say my confidence levels are sky high right now but I'm sure the speech will go OK," said Murray.

"I had then planned to head to Miami in the first week of December, but if I want to make changes to my game it will take a lot longer than 10 days of practice."

Will Holmes, York: It baffles me that people associate greatness with international football when this is secondary to club commitments for so many. Furthermore, many great players, including Rooney, do not have the support to succeed with their national team. England great or not, he certainly is a great English player in my opinion.

News line #2: The man who led the technical bid inspections into the 2018 and 2022 World Cups is under investigation by Fifa for alleged breaches of its code of ethics.

Mayne Nicholls is also being investigated for seeking to arrange unpaid internships for his son, nephew and his brother-in-law who works as a tennis coach.

He denies any wrong-doing and insists that neither he nor representatives from Chilean football ever travelled to Aspire.
