Keane takes centre stage again as Cork hosts new drama

AS if Roy Keane weren’t famous enough in Cork, the place of his birth is hosting another play about the footballer.

With I, Keano still packing out Cork Opera House night after night with audiences who never tire of hearing about his World Cup row in Saipan with Mick McCarthy, the venue is soon to stage Roy, a Footballer’s Tale.

Played by The Wind That Shakes the Barley actor Myles Horgan, the midfield general from Mayfield is cast back to Christmas, 2005, after he left Manchester United but before he joined Glasgow Celtic.
