A masked Roy Keane might be what nightmares are made of for clubs that have seen their players eviscerated by his criticism but the former Ireland deputy manager was a much more kindly presence when he made a surprise visit to Penny Dinners in Cork this week.

Arriving on Thursday at the Soup Kitchen, which provides hot meals to the homeless and needy, Keane led one volunteer to wonder if he was the subject of an elaborate hoax.
