Club: Republic of Ireland NT Year: 1996 Brand: Umbro Jersey Type: Away Size: L Player Name: Roy Keane 6 Chest length (cm): 55 Shirt length (cm): 73 Condition: 9/10 History: The Republic of Ireland national football team endured a disappointing 1996 as they failed to qualify for UEFA Euro 1996 following a 2–0 play-off defeat to the Netherlands in late 1995. Under Mick McCarthy, the team entered a rebuilding phase, blending experienced players such as Roy Keane and Niall Quinn with emerging talent. Although results were inconsistent, Ireland remained competitive as they began preparations for the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign. Roy Keane was one of the most combative and driven midfielders of his generation, spending the peak of his career at Manchester United where he captained the club to multiple Premier League titles and the historic 1999 UEFA Champions League triumph. Renowned for his relentless intensity, leadership and ability to dominate midfield battles, Keane earned over 60 international caps for Ireland but famously never played at a major tournament after his explosive departure from the 2002 World Cup squad following a public fallout with manager Mick McCarthy.
