Mark Keane became used to his world being turned upside down. Annually. Dramatically. He has five steady years of it ever since he first boarded a plane and set off to Melbourne for an AFL trial.
In the winter of 2018, the Mitchelstown man joined Collingwood. Covid came and he returned to deliver a famous Cork-Kerry goal two years later. His heart was split between profession and passion. In 2022, he departed the club despite having one year left on his contract.
