Send us a textJoin Conor and Johnny this week as they discuss the most tumultuous episode in Irish sport history - Roy Keane storming out of the Irish set up on the eve of the 2002 World Cup. Here we talk about dodgy training facilities, journalists swooping each other's stories, dressing downs from player to manager and oh so much more. It's all one great big shame really isn't it? We use biographies, World Cup diaries and newspaper articles to chronicle a bizarre moment in Irish history. Join us next week for part two (honestly we could have spent weeks on this so two parts is doing well!)     Follows us on those socialsboysweveseen on Instagram@boysweveseen on TwitterOr email us [email protected]
