At 54, Roy Keane is a legendary figure in football but his career all started with a big move from Cobh Ramblers in Cork to Nottingham Forest when he was still a teenager.<\/p>\n
He often delights his 2.4 million fans with photos on Instagram, and his latest post is his old passport photo from his move to the UK.<\/p>\n
A fresh faced keen is seen smiling in the passport, from 1987. While passports now last 10 years, this one was valid for just one.<\/p>\n
The Corkman captioned the picture: “I didn\u2019t have much, just a dream, great hair and a point to prove.”<\/p>\n
While Keane is a Manchester United legend, and most well-known for his time at Old Trafford, it all started at Forest. <\/p>\n
Keane played under legendary manager Brian Clough, and has often spoken about the influence Clough had on his career. <\/p>\n
He struggled with homesickness and Clough would often grant him a few days’ leave to visit his family in Cork. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At 54, Roy Keane is a legendary figure in football but his career all started with a big…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":139285,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-139284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139284\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139285"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
