KEANO!’<\/p>\n After Keane helped the lads pull off a flawless performance in the challenge, Keelan excitedly told him that he also played in midfield – prompting a response of, “Good boy, that\u2019s the best position to play. It\u2019s the happiest.”<\/p>\n For a man so often associated with a sterner exterior, it was a wonderfully special moment for Roy Keane to be a part of, showing a softer side to the Manchester United legend.<\/p>\n It has gained significant reaction on social media even outside of Ireland.<\/p>\n READ HERE: <\/strong>Ireland Learn Possible Opponents As World Cup Group Stage Draw Confirmed<\/a><\/p>\n READ HERE: <\/strong>The Six Key Talking Points Ahead Of F1’s Intense Abu Dhabi Title Decider<\/a><\/p>\n Football world reacts to Roy Keane’s\u00a0Late Late Toy Show cameo<\/strong><\/p>\n The core concept of The Late Late Toy Show is infamously difficult to explain to anyone not from Ireland.<\/p>\n The idea of startling children with meeting their heroes, amid a massive charity drive, while a normally down-to-earth chat show host is tasked with prancing around a fanciful Christmas-inspired set, is a wonderful one.<\/p>\n However, it remains so quintessentially Irish that a sense of astonishment always accompanies international reaction to the most viral moments. That was the case with Roy Keane’s cameo.<\/p>\n Renowned Irish sports journalist Miguel Delaney shared RT\u00c9’s clip of Keano’s appearance, offering an explanation to audiences from outside of Ireland.<\/p>\n This is amazing, mind.
