As part of the promotion of The Overlap's live tour, Roy Keane took the opportunity of being back on home soil to show Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville around the club where he first broke through as a footballer, and around his home county.
Sportsfile were on hand to snap some photos of the occasion, and caught some briliant snaps of Keane returning to his first ever club at Rockmount AFC.
The tour was not only part of the promotional drive for the upcoming live Overlap show, but involved some filming for an upcoming Overlap TV special to air this summer.
