Roy Keane looks in shock at meeting some Ireland's hurling legends of London this Sunday.

Limerick's five-time All-Ireland-winning hurler Darragh O’Donovan shared a selfie of the Ireland and Man Utd legend with himself and Dave Clarke, one of the stalwarts of the great Limerick team of the 1990s, on his X (formerly Twitter) account.

It appears to be outside the Tottenham Hotspur stadium where the Minnesota Vikings were taking on Aaron Rodgers' New York Jets.

Roy Keane is a big NFL fan as is Darragh who is sporting a New York Jets jersey in the photo. Unfortunately for the All-Star Limerick midfielder, the Vikings held on to claim a 23-17 win.

In just over an hour, the post had over 21,000 views and over 300 likes.
