Roy Keane returns to the Cobh Ramblers

It is more than a quarter of a century since Roy Keane first togged out for Cobh Ramblers, but he was back at his old stomping ground last night, taking part in a charity fundraiser.

The Republic of Ireland assistant manager was acting as coach for a team consisting of ex-Ramblers players, taking on the current Springfield junior team to raise funds for Cobh Hospital.

Keane, who played 23 times for Cobh from 1989 to 1990, took on a familiar role, as assistant to Ramblers manager Bob Donovan.
