The new season of The Overlap on Tour has seen Roy Keane and co. take the continent, after their travels in Ireland and the UK last time out.
Keane, Gary Neville, and Jamie Carragher took on Dublin, Cork, and a host of UK cities during the first season of the popular TV show. It was during the episode in Ireland that we got perhaps the clearest look yet at Keane's love for his home town.
This season has the trio jetting off even further from home. With Ian Wright onboard this time, their travels on the continent have brought them to Istanbul, Turin, Barclelona and, in this week's episode, Rome.
Turin brought a wonderful encounter with Italian legend Giorgio Chiellini, who emerged wearing a Manchester United retro jersey adorned with '16 Keane.'
This week in Rome, the quartet of Sky pundits linked up with another icon of Italian football for dinner, with Daniele de Rossi left horrified when Roy Keane began cutting his spaghetti.

Daniele de Rossi stunned by Roy Keane cutting his spaghetti
Daniele de Rossi was a player who idolised Roy Keane in more ways than one.
The Roma hero played as a combative and energetic midfielder, in a style more than a little reminiscent of Keano. That was not by accident - in fact, de Rossi chose to wear the number 16 for Roma as he wanted to mimic his idol Keane, who wore the number for Manchester United.
De Rossi may have second thoughts about his choice of idol after Keane's antics in Rome, where he broke one of the great unwritten rules of Italian cuisine.

As the 'Overlap' crew sat down with de Rossi for dinner, the Italian's jaw dropped when he saw Roy Keane cutting his spaghetti before eating it.
De Rossi was left stunned, with Keane seemingly unaware of
Wright: "He's cutting his pasta, this is crazy..."
Keane: "Am I...?"
De Rossi [sarcastically]: "An idol?! An idol cutting spaghetti!"
Keane [to Wright]: "Thanks for telling me...you watch so many mafia movies, he thinks he's Italian."
Even Ian Wright was flabbergasted, exchanging a few Jim Halpert-esque looks at the camera. Perhaps the funniest element was when the show cut back to the 'Overlap' gang reflecting on their experiences in Rome, with Wright ripping into Keane for his pasta-eating habits.
Wright jabbed Keane, saying that he was unaware the Irishman ate "like a seven-year-old," before explaining how he had tried to stop Keane before it had been too late.
I genuinely didn't think you'd be that uncultured bro...there's no way I'm thinking, 'Roy Keane's gonna cut his pasta up like a seven-year-old.'
Daniele looked...I wanted to look at Roy to try to catch his eye. [Shaking his head] But he wasn't...he was deep in cutting.
Roy Keane admitted that Daniele de Rossi, "Lost a lot of respect for me there."
There will more than a few food lovers who will have lost a touch of respect for Roy Keane after his "seven-year-old"-esque habits were revealed.
