Old friend reminds humble Roy of sneaking into award ceremony as teen

He was pleased, honoured, humbled to be home among his own, and to be giving a little bit back to the community.

So said Roy Keane, who was more than happy to play the role of ambassador for Mayfield last night at the first Mayfield Community Volunteer Awards in the Silversprings Moran Hotel, a stone’s throw from his family home.

“It’s nice to give a bit back,” said Keane. “I’m from Mayfield, born and bred here, married here, the kids were christened here, I grew up here.”
