Ian Royal Parky!? Parky made crunching tackles and did the necessary dirty work. I certainly don't remember him throwing hissy fits to the ref, having a sly kick out at someone or brainlessly body checking them. He was hard, but he was fair.
Keane was a oxf*rd.
You're right he didn't slyly kick people he elbowed them in the face and kicked them up in the air in full view of the ref. He shouted obscenities at my mother outside Elm Park when she had the temerity to ask a five year old me who he was. His whole game was about being the brainless old style midfielder who committed brainless fouls so don't make him out to be a Xavi like passing master.
The only reason you love your mate Parky is because he used to con the simpering sycophants in the East Stand by doing that stupid run towards them at the start of the game.He was a below average footballer - hence the reason he couldn't adapt to playing in another position when asked - who over stayed his welcome.
Harsh but fair

he was a danger to the safety of the other players on the pitch
