O'Neill recalled one comical Keane moment on the recent episode of The Overlap.

The former Northern Ireland captain shared a hilarious story about two young fans asking Keane for his autograph on a golf course. And it didn't work out well for the teens.

O'Neill says on the episode: "We are playing (golf) this particular evening. We're playing and Roy's using a seven iron and he's obviously mad. It's a par 3 and he's on his seventh shot and only halfway down the fairway.

"The golf course was part of our hotel, and these two young lads were on the outskirts on bicycles. They were about 14 or 15.

"The two young lads were standing near me and they could see Roy down the fairway. They were like 'Hey mister, mister, is that Roy Keane there?'.

"So I replied 'Yeah, yeah, it is' and they said 'Do you think we could get his autograph?'. I said, 'It's not a good time. Not a good time. Watch and see if he hits a decent shot, maybe you could go up towards the green and we will see how we go from there'.

"So the two lads got back on their bicycles and headed towards the green. Roy finally gets up to the green and the two lads shout 'Roy, Roy, can we have your autograph?'.

"And Roy told them to 'f*** off'."

A smiling Keane debated whether he swore, to which O'Neill joked: "I met the two lads last year. They just got out of a psychiatric unit. They were mentally scarred'."
