7 gifts Roy Keane can expect for his birthday

Ireland’s greatest ever player turns 42 today.

ROY MAURICE KEANE turns 42 today and, to celebrate, here at TheScore.ie we’ve put together a list of who Corks finest might expect to receive gifts from on his big day and just what those presents might be.

The pair have reportedly kissed and made up so it's the obvious gift from Keano's old gaffer.

A set of noise cancelling headphones so the pair don't have to listen to the insufferable Southgate and Chiles combo.

Mr. Dependable comes up with a typically functional present and we're sure Roy could use it to get a discount into The Cross.

We can't think why though.

What have me missed? Who do you think will be attending Keano's birthday and what will they bring?

    The UFC might aswell not have rankings and contenders anymore.

    @Ciarán: Woodley faught Maia, Wonderboy*2 and Lawler in his last 4 fights: each the highest rank possible at the time… If anyone should be allowed a money fight its him. Besides, in diaz’s last 2 fights, he beat a champion and then lost to the same guy on a narrow decision. So compared to other welterweights he isnt an absurd choice… Its nothing like Bisping: making his 1st defence against someone not even in the top 10 and his 2nd defence against someone who hadnt faught in 4 years.

    Coincidence that McGregor and Diaz will both have titles before their rematch? Not that I’m complaining, would be hard not to get excited about the build up to that.

    @Connery83: 100% agree, Diaz is the perfect style for Woodley to fight. Plus hed have no excuse to be cautious in this one.

    @Connery83: Woodley barely beat Maia even the the entire fight was fought on the feat. Diaz is more than a match for him on the feet and if it goes to the ground Diaz is more than comfortable fighting on top or from his back. Diaz will beat him.

    @Johnny: Maia is possibly the best at bjj in the entire ufc. Woodley was being cautious to avoid his submissions, but was comfortably better on the feet. Fans were angry that he didnt try to finish him. He also beat Wonderboy who is one of the best strikers

    @Johnny: Woodley will punch a hole through his face. I actually fear for Nate in this fight, as he is so durable. Mate defends with his face and against the hardest hitter at 170 that’s a recipe for disaster

    @Rudiger McMonihan: fair achievement but why has that put him in line for a title shot, he’s 3-3 at 170.

    He smokes a hell a lot of weed, with Conor the King of Coke and the majority of the roster on some kind drugs he’s perfect.

    @Malachy Rivers: The main difference between them and athletes in other sports is the testing. Has a football player ever been caught using PEDs?
