The mother of former Manchester United captain Roy Keane has sadly passed away, her family confirmed on Friday. Marie Keane passed away 'peacefully, surrounded by her loving family and in the tender loving care of the doctors, nurses and staff' at Marymount University Hospital and Hospice in Cork. His proudest moment was yet to come: to see his son Roy captain Manchester United and lead them on to many successes.'

It was during this time that Maurice and Marie moved from Mayfield to Rathpeacon, to a house Roy had bought for them.
