Sometimes dreams do come true! That was the feeling at Dunderrow National School outside Kinsale when football hero Roy Keane dropped by to everyone s surprise.
The unexpected visit came as an early Christmas present for star-struck pupils, in particular the 70-plus children in fifth and sixth class who enjoyed an hour in the company of one of the country s most famous sporting legends.
The former Man United and Ireland captain, who went on to become assistant manager of the Irish team, turned up at the school in response to a letter penned by fifth class pupil Noah Mehigan, who said he would love to meet his football hero.
