REPUBLIC OF IRELAND assistant manager Roy Keane was among the former team-mates paying tribute to Liam Miller in Páirc Uí Chaoimh this afternoon.
Speaking before the match, Keane said that Miller, who sadly passed away earlier this year, would be “delighted looking at the reaction from everybody”.
Also speaking before the match were players from the Celtic and Republic of Ireland team, John Hartson and Stilyan Petrov, who have both fought cancer battles of their own.
Hartson recalled speaking with Miller two or three weeks before he sadly passed away.
You can watch the press conference with Keane, David May and Ryan Giggs (players on the Manchester United XI) in full here:

Great turnout for a good cause.Well done to all concerned.
Stupid reporter asking about Declan Rice at charity match for a young man who lost his life.
Poor Dennis is gonna need an ice bath after This!
Fair play to all involved.
Was a pleasure to watch what was a great game in aid of Liam’s family. Many of the previous players still had that magic touch and that perfect pass.
Though G Nev should have stayed back in defense… XD
