RIPtheBeard! Ex-Man Utd star Roy Keane SHAVES famous beard before Ireland qualifier
FORMER Manchester United captain and Aston Villa assistant manager Roy Keane has sensationally shaved off his impressive beard ahead of Ireland's UEFA European Championship qualifier against Gibraltar.

One user wrote: "So much better!" as another commented: "I'm not sure how I feel about this."
Keane has just released a new autobiography, entitled 'The Second Half', and as expected has left no stone unturned as he sheds new light on run-ins with the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Robbie Savage and Peter Schmeichel.
