Roy Keane has Dublin crowd in fits of laughter with hilarious reply to 'home' question

Roy Keane had the 3Arena crowd in fits of laughter during a live broadcast of Gary Neville's The Overlap on Thursday evening.

The Republic of Ireland legend was asked by host Kelly Cates how it felt to be home at the beginning of the show, to which the proud Cork man replied: "Home? I’m from Cork. This is Dublin."

Keane spent a number of days back on Irish soil and brought his Sky Sports colleagues Neville and Jamie Carragher to his native Cork before the live show in Dublin.

The trio visited Keane's former clubs Rockmount AFC and Cobh Ramblers.

And during Thursday's show, Keane paid tribute to Cobh, stating that he might not have made it to England without them.

He said: "Without Cobh Ramblers, I’m not sure I’d have made it to England. That year in the League of Ireland was a great education for me – playing against experienced men."

Former England international Neville also tried his hand at hurling in Cork, but according to Keane, it didn't go too well.

The ex-Manchester United captain explained: "He called the hurley a stick. And the ball he called a baseball. I educated him that it was a sliotar."

Keane has spoke of his love of Cork numerous times over the years and revealed last year that he aims to get back to the Rebel County every three weeks or so.
