Roy Keane has been looking a little differently these days, giving MMA star Conor McGregor a run for his money in the beard stakes.
The legendary footballer turned manager, who has been in the media spotlight this week with the promotion of his new book, The Second Half, has allowed his 5 O’Clock shadow to become more 12AM in recent weeks.
Tonight, we can confirm that the beard is sadly no more.
This tweet, courtesy of the FAI, broke the hearts of thousands of hipsters across the country… Roy decided to shave in preparation for the first home qualifier.
