Roy Keane has revealed that he was a Tottenham fan growing up in Cork
Keane is synonymous with Manchester United, having served as captain of the club in their most successful period but let loose that growing up he was a Tottenham supporter.
The popular TV pundit is an avid Red Devils supporter despite his abrupt end at the club in 2005 but said that he still have a soft spot for Tottenham.
Appearing on Sky Bet's The Overlap alongside Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, Keane was speaking about Tottenham's season and said: "In the next few months if Tottenham finish fourth you'll say it's a good season.
"If they finish sixth...fourth position is available to two or three teams. That's when you judge it at the end of the season, we're all making judgements but this is the vital part of the season."
And when asked by a person in the crowd if he has a soft spot for Tottenham, he said: "I do, Spurs was my team as a kid."
Keane hit headlines earlier this week for criticising Stephen Kenny's post match celebrations after their 1-0 win against Lithuania.
He said on ITV: “It was an important win. Better late than never, but they made hard work of it.
“I think the celebrations at the end are way over the top. But an important goal, even for Parrott, he’s a young player.
“His career has probably stalled a little bit. But they kept going. Showed a bit of spirit and fight. You take that win. The feel-good factor. Keep that going. A bit of momentum.
“Honestly. That’s way over the top. For managers, staff and players. To react that way, to a friendly win. Come on! Get over it.”
