It takes a lot to get Roy Keane excited, but the Irishman had plenty to smile about when heading to San Francisco for NFL play-off action.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The Manchester United legend was among those in attendance as the 49ers kept their hopes of Super Bowl in 2024 alive with a thrilling 24-21 victory over the Green Bay Packers. Keane was in the stands at Levi’s Stadium, with the side that he pledges allegiance to doing their “job” on the night.
DID YOU KNOW?
Keane has previously attended NFL International Games at Wembley Stadium, alongside former coaching partner Martin O’Neill, and has now taken the opportunity to cross the Atlantic and get a proper taste of the live action experience on American soil.
WHAT NEXT?
With the 49ers having avoided an upset against the seventh-seeded Packers, they will now play host to either the Detroit Lions or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship game. If they were to prevail in that contest, then the five-time Super Bowl winners would get another shot at lofting the Vince Lombardi Trophy at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on February 11.
