Roy Keane reveals gentler family side in recent holiday pictures
Roy Keane is well-known for his intense persona both on the pitch and as a commentator – first as a player, then transitioning to a pundit – marked by fierce tackles and equally formidable statements in front of the camera. However, beneath the reputation of being one of football’s most formidable enforcers, he reveals a more relatable side when he is with his family, portraying himself as a loving grandfather. Recently, the ex-Manchester United captain showcased this side on Instagram, posting a collection of images from a family vacation in honor of his 54th birthday. Among the captured moments were scenes of Keane enjoying the pool with his grandchildren, assisting them in constructing sandcastles by the beach, and beaming with pride as he held his youngest – and third – grandchild who was born earlier this year. The text accompanying his birthday message was as heartfelt as the photos themselves: “Happy Birthday to me. All the gifts I need.” For a man whose trajectory was defined by toughness and resilience, it offered a rare insight into the softer experiences that hold significant value. It turns out that even the most ferocious captains possess a tender heart. READ THE LATEST FASHION, CULTURE AND LIFESTYLE CONTENT FROM 90MIN
