Roy Keane in shock at meeting Limerick hurling greats

ROY Keane looks in shock at meeting a five-time All-Ireland winning hurler and one of Limerick’s great half backs in London this Sunday.

Darragh O’Donovan shared a selfie of the Ireland and Man Utd legend with himself and Dave Clarke on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

It appears to be outside the Tottenham Hotspur stadium where the Minnesota Vikings were taking on Aaron Rodgers' New York Jets.

Roy Keane is a big NFL fan as is Darragh who is sporting a New York Jets jersey in the photo. Unfortunately for the All-Star Limerick midfielder, the Vikings held on to claim a 23-17 win.

However, Darragh is a Man Utd supporter so having a photo taken with Keano must be some consolation. 

Back in 2020, the Oola man lined out with a sticker of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick on his hurling helmet when Limerick played Galway in the All-Ireland semi-final. Coincidentally, Roy is a 49ers fan.

The Cork legend told the Stick to Football podcast earlier this year that American Football "relaxes him" despite being a "very impatient person".

It is not known if Davy, one of the stalwarts of the great Limerick team of the 1990s, invited Roy back to his popular pub in Bruff the next time he is passing.

Darragh was lucky that his club, Doon, were already through to the county semi-finals next weekend so he could be in the stands in London and not on the pitch at home. Doon play Patrickswell on Sunday, October 13 in Kilmallock at 1pm.
