‘We are shocked, but nobody died’

ROY Keane phoned his mother in Cork early yesterday morning to break the sensational news to her that he is out of a job.

Marie Keane was at home in Whitechurch when the call came through. But she declined to comment when she answered the door to reporters just before noon.

“No, no, sorry, no comment,” was all the mother of the former Manchester United star would say, when she peeped from behind the slightly open white front door of her large detached country home.
