As he dressed for the winter season in an assortment of chic jackets and sneakers, he thought back on his career, moving away from the beautiful game and what a slower pace of life looked like these days.

Keane said: “I played to win from when I was eight or nine years of age.

“You were literally on the biggest roller coaster of your life.

“The highs are extreme and the lows… my goodness. But sometimes you have to lose to win.

“The biggest challenge for any sportsperson is actually when your career finishes.

“You almost know you’re never going to reach those highs again but you have to accept that.

“I’ll never get that buzz from anything else in my life.

“Being in the dressing room winning stuff with good team-mates and good players… oh, honestly, it really is amazing.

“Life’s been pretty good to me in terms of my career and my family.

“I actually have a lot of contentment in my life.

“That can go sometimes but generally speaking, yeah I am pretty contented.”

Keane, who had gained popularity as an analyst on Sky Sports and ITV in the past, was a natural in front of the camera.

The former Manchester United captain went above and beyond to model the adidas autumn-winter clothing, much to the delight of the fans.

One said: “Never in my life did I expect to see Roy Keane as a model for fashion. Well played whoever has managed to convince him to take part.”

Another wrote: “Keano and adidas Spezial, it doesn’t get any better.”

A third added: “Legend, looks decent in the new gear.”

A fourth typed: “I love this man.”

And a final user simply commented: “Class.”

Sales of the Spezial collection will begin on November 16 through the adidas app. Seven new shoe styles, t-shirts, joggers, outerwear pants, zip jackets, gold puffers, and beige coats are all part of the collection.

The range was designed by Spezial founder Gary Aspden, with a large portion of the materials being recycled fabrics.
