Roy is back in town

SERENE Suffolk is no more — the Roy is back in town.

The gentile surroundings of Ipswich Town’s Portman Road hadn’t felt a frisson of excitement like yesterday’s announcement of Roy Keane as manager since the heady days of the ’80s; cup-winning memories the new manager wants to bring back.

The Tractor Boys’ coup in luring Keane back to football is the trip-switch for another roller-coaster ride of excitement that should last at least two years, if the Corkman sees through his new managerial contract.
