Roy Keane has joked his daughter’s engagement to Taylor Harwood-Bellis is “not done and dusted” after the Southampton defender scored on his England debut against the Republic of Ireland.
Harwood-Bellis is due to marry Keane’s daughter Leah, but upset his future father-in-law by heading home the final goal of England’s 5-0 thumping over Ireland.
It came 17 minutes after he came on for his debut to cap a memorable night at Wembley for the 22-year-old.
Keane, who played 67 times for Ireland between 1991 and 2005, said while working as a pundit for ITV: “It’s bittersweet for me this. It is not done and dusted yet.
“Things can change very quickly in the Keane household, let me tell you.
“Over the last few months he has got a goal threat, even playing for Southampton. It is nice for him.
“It’s good for him, it’s good for him to make his debut, like I say he has a goal threat.
“He’s a nice kid, his family have done a great job, he is a really nice kid.”
