For the first time in his career, Republic of Ireland assistant boss Roy Keane is heading to a major tournament as a coach.
The Cork man played at the USA World Cup in 1994 and was at...er...the 2002 World Cup in Japan/South Korea, but let's not got there!
Keane will be hoping he can help manager Martin O’Neill plot a route into the knockout stages and beyond at Euro 2016.
