Man Utd legend lands brand new Sky show that will see him travel round tourist attractions
YOU can always rely on Roy Keane to produce TV gold, so watching him visit UK and Ireland’s tourist attractions should be fun.
Cameras are following the former Manchester United captain as he joins fellow Sky Sports pundit and ex-Liverpool footballer Jamie Carragher on Gary Neville’s The Overlap On Tour.
The trio will be filmed travelling to cities, stopping at tourist hotspots, grassroots clubs and other sites with special meaning to to them in their careers.
The Sky Max series this summer also features footage from the fan forums where they will be grilled by fan across the UK and Ireland.
Former United player Gary said: “With Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher for company, we’ve got great live events lined up for London, Liverpool, Manchester and Dublin.”
Earlier this week, Roy Keane admitted his “embarrassing” fitness levels are the reason why he has turned down legends matches.
The Manchester United icon hung up his boots aged 34 back in 2006 after one season with Celtic.
And on the face of it he has continued to keep himself in good shape more than a decade on from his final match as a player.
However, Keane has now revealed that he is incredibly unfit and said that he even struggles to run.
Speaking to Off The Ball, he said: “I’m not fit. I’m far from fit. My fitness levels are actually very, very embarrassing.
“Just because I’ve not put on loads of weight doesn’t mean to say I’m fit. I wouldn’t really be able to do any running.
“Put it this way, I’ve been invited a number of times over the last few years to play legends games or whatever you want to call it.
“I’d find it really difficult because I wouldn’t be able to get around. Too many injury problems.
“I try to have a decent diet and I’m obviously weary about putting on too much weight.
“But I certainly wouldn’t be fit enough to go on any sort of run. I do a small bit of cycling but even that – I’m not exactly Sean Kelly.”
