Jason McAteer: I don't think Roy Keane is going to come out too well in Saipan film
COMING SOON: Steve Coogan has been cast as Mick McCarthy, with Éanna Hardwicke taking on the Roy Keane role for the film on the fallout in Saipan.
Jason McAteer's goal against the Netherlands played a huge part in sending the Republic of Ireland to the World Cup in 2002, and it probably ensured he would have a seat when things turned sour in the immediate build-up to the tournament in Japan.
Coming soon to a screen near you is the film 'Saipan' starring Steve Coogan as Ireland manager Mick McCarthy and Éanna Hardwicke, who will be playing Roy Keane to depict the infamous fallout that took place on the small Japanese island shortly before the tournament kicked off.
