Easter brings Roy’s resurrection

MAYBE it was all the talk of resurrection over the Easter weekend that did it because as comebacks go, Roy Keane’s latter-day version has almost as much drama as the original.

But while some might view the mystifying midfielder as a saviour for his momentous return to the fold, it's his similarity to another illustrious biblical figure that more vividly springs to mind.

Moses may hold the record for epic partings after his Red Sea exploits but when it comes to splitting a nation into two seething, spitting, polar-positioned sides, no one can cut it quite like Roy.
