THIS INTERVIEW WAS ORIGINALLY RECORDED IN MAY 2022.

In May 2022, the legendary RTÉ reporter Tommie Gorman joined Joe Molloy on Off The Ball to mark the 20th anniversary of Ireland's infamous World Cup training camp in Saipan.

After it was revealed that Roy Keane would not be going to the World Cup with Ireland after a falling out with manager Mick McCarthy, Tommie was granted the first exclusive interview with Keane. It was an instantly iconic moment in Irish sporting history and Tommie was good enough to join us and explain how it came about and share his memories of the interview 20 years later.

We have decided to revisit this brilliant interview after today's desperately sad announcement that Tommie Gorman has passed away at the age of 68.
