WATCH: Lad who wrote letter to Jürgen Klopp meets Roy Keane on The Late Late Show

Carl Kinsella

Roy Keane

“Munster. Just say Munster.”

Roy Keane joined Ryan Tubridy on last night’s episode of the Late Late Show to talk about all manner of things, including any possible future roles at a revamped FAI.

But the highlight of the night came when Darragh Curley – who is having quite a week- was brought out to meet one of his sporting heroes.

Curley has been in the news this week for writing a letter to Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp to ask him to stop winning. Not only that, but Klopp actually wrote the kid back in the ultimate classy gesture.

The wee Donegal lad asked Keano what his childhood dreams were (to be a professional footballer), and when Keane put the question back to him he revealed that he wanted to be a professional rugby player (at which point Keane immediately tried to scout him for Munster).

Astute observation by Ryan Tubridy that even Roy Keane saying “Follow your dreams” sounds like a threat. Watch the lovely moment below:
