FAI's Delaney dedicates #IceBucketChallenge to the real Roy Keane

Football Association of Ireland boss John Delaney has submitted to the icy deluge of an #IceBucketChallenge - and dedicated it to Roy Keane.

Before the buckets were tipped, he remembered his "great friend" the RTE presenter Colm Murray, who passed away in July last year from Motor Neurone Disease at the age of 61. Mr Murray had been diagnosed three years previously.

Delaney went on to say: "I've been nominated by Mario Rosentock pretending to be Roy Keane, but I'm sure Roy Keane would love this as well. So, if you're watching Roy, this is for you…Joking!"

Delaney went on to nominate Barry Egan from the Sunday Independent, Robert Finnegan from 3, Philip Brown from the IRFU and GAA director general Padraic Duffy.
