Roy Keane takes in rare Cork City game at Turner's Cross

Turner's Cross had a very special guest in attendance as Roy Keane took in Cork City's first game back in the Premier Division.

It wasn't to be a winning return however, as goals from Grant Horton and Jordan Flores gave Declan Devine's Bohemian's a 2-1 to begin the new season.

Keane is of course one of Cork's favourite sons and frequently attends inter-county hurling and football games involving his beloved Rebels.
