Roy Keane shows off hurling skills at Croke Park alongside Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher

Roy Keane left Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville in awe as he showed off his hurling skills to the two Premier League legends.

The trio were in Dublin during the week as part of Gary Neville's 'overlap' tour.

As part of the show, the three men headed to GAA HQ to try their hand at a bit of hurling with varying levels of success.

Joined by Kilkenny star TJ Reid, Corkman Keane was by far the best and looked a natural as he pucked the sliotar over the crossbar on a number of occasions.

Carragher looked a tad uncomfortable but did at least manager to make contact with the sliotar a couple of times.

The weakest seems to have been Neville, who's 'fresh air' shot was shown on the big screen much to the delight of those in attendance.

But Neville does appear to score one long range point. And judging by his reaction, it may have been his first successful shot.

And to cap off what looked like a cracking night, Paul McGrath was brought on stage as a special guest in a move that brought the house down.

In another life, perhaps Keane could have worn the red of his beloved Rebels instead of Manchester United.

As for Neville and Carragher, perhaps they made the right decision to not pursue a career in hurling.
