Roy’s family keeping a low profile

ROY KEANE’S family was keeping a low profile yesterday as a guiding light from his young playing days said he still has the potential to be a great manager.

Roy’s parents Mossie and Marie Keane were not at home in Whitechurch yesterday afternoon. And regulars in one of Mossie’s favourite bars, Cashman’s in Cork city, said he had not been in at all yesterday.

Close friends said Roy’s parents were not surprised by their son’s decision and wouldn’t comment in public anyway. “Roy is his own man and Marie and Mossie are very proud of him and would stand by whatever decision he makes,” he said.
