Gary Neville then goes on to talk about the time he got to play hurling in Croke Park. "He (Roy) was actually very good." Keane then replies "I wouldn't go that far now Nev. Obviously, I played when I was a kid."

He then goes on to explain the sport to colleague and former Arsenal man Ian Wright. "Speed, high scoring. These guys are amateurs."
