Football hard man Roy Keane has shown his softer side with a healthy Instagram post.
Keane celebrated his 54th birthday on Sunday by placing a series of heart -warming photos and videos of himself in the sun next to his family.
The former midfielder, who was a no-nonsense general with people like Nottingham Forest and Manchester United during his match days, began to relax his position in a swimming pool.
Keane was seen, sunbathing on an inflatable while he was wearing glasses.
He endors the post: “Happy birthday for me. All gifts I need.”
And Keane's next photos and videos showed exactly what those presents were, as Keane showed that he is a big softie in heart and soul with his grandchildren.
The Irishman was seen who held his baby grandson while he was in a holiday home, with a striking bronze color that also adorns his skin.
He then shared photos of him who played with the sand on the beach next to his grandchildren.
The next photo showed him in the pool with two of them, smiling with Keane while getting an inflatable dragon.
One of his grandchildren was filmed in the swimming pool, with Keane delicious while he picked him up and threw him in the air.
The last image of Keane's birthday post showed him that he pushed a buggy with one of his grandchildren in it.
Birthday wishes of scores of his 2.3 million followers and fans came in.
The overlapping account said, “Happy Birthday Roy!”
A fan said, “Have a great one, sir. You are nothing but a relief.”
A second fan added: “Imagine your grandfather Roy Keane man.”
Box coach David Coldwell said, “The most important man. Happy birthday!”
A fourth fan joked: “Take care of the grandchildren? That is his job.”
A fifth said, “Birthdays? Do me a favor.”
Keane has revealed that he has three grandchildren, but is usually notorously protective against his private life.
The newest member of the Keane family was welcomed in April, with Keane introducing him to the public through a radiant Instagram post.
His daughter, Leah, is engaged to England with one cap and Southampton star Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
The 23-year-old, however, probably observed Keane's advice and has kept Shtum too much about their private life.
Last month the former Republic of Ireland International saw a signature signing for a child while attending a competition for his hometown team of Cork City.
Keane will undoubtedly have many opportunities to show off his famous weather ground tongue this season when he returns to the studio as an expert for Sky Sports.
His old club, United, seems to be always in the headlines in recent years for the wrong reasons, and many would be shocked if that would not continue despite talking, again, from the club in a new direction.
