Republic of Ireland coach Martin O'Neill is amazed by the passion of his No2 Roy Keane.
The Manchester United legend has taken on his new job with great enthusiasm, says O'Neill.
"I thought he might have been really sickened after the Ipswich affair, having lost the job there, but I got to meet him a few times just after that and the drive and determination were still there." said O'Neill, speaking at the RTE awards.
"This fella goes to an awful lot of football matches, even when there was nothing at stake or no reason for him to. Those things were very important ingredients when I was thinking about it (picking Keane for the job)."
