Keane gives jerseys to help Holly fund

HE may be unpopular in most households for his unpatriotic view of Ireland’s playoff nightmare, but in one home at least, Roy Keane is still a hero.

As part of a fundraising drive for 23-month-old Holly O’Keeffe, the former Manchester United captain has agreed to raffle off two of his final signed club and country jerseys to help provide the cancer patient’s family with vital funds for her care.

The donation – to be auctioned tonight from 8pm at the Three Horseshoes Bar, Dillon’s Cross – has been made as part of a campaign to raise funds for the toddler, who suffers from a rare and life-threatening form of cancer known as neuro-blastoma.
