Ban Keane’s name and let’s get on with job in hand, Charlton tells team

FORMER Republic of Ireland manager Jack Charlton said that Roy Keane is now nothing more than World Cup history and must be quickly forgotten by each and every member of the national side.

"Roy Keane’s name should be banned from the Irish team hotel, their training preparations and especially the dressing room in the build-up to Saturday’s opening World Cup match against Cameroon in Niigata," Charlton said, in the wake of the skipper’s decision not to rejoin the squad.
