Roy Keane's priceless response after being asked about his daughter marrying current England international
Roy Keane delivered a priceless response when asked about his daughter marrying an England international.
Keane was a pundit for England's Nations League clash against Ireland last November.
The Three Lions ran riot at Wembley Stadium, putting five past Ireland.

Harry Kane and Anthony Gordon were among the goal-scorers not to mention Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who was making his England debut.
He headed home his country's fifth goal and when reviewing the moment following the final whistle, host Mark Pougatch pointed out that Harwood-Bellis is Keane's future son-in-law following his engagement to the Manchester United legend's daughter, Leah Keane.
On ITV, Keane hilariously quipped: "Bittersweet for me, this," before adding: "It [the wedding] is not done and dusted yet!
"Things can change very quickly in the Keane household."
However, he lovingly said: "No, he's a really nice kid, his family have done a good job. Over the last few months, he’s definitely been a goal threat playing for Southampton, it’s nice for him."
Harwood-Bellis shares a good relationship with Keane and revealed he was with his fiancee when Lee Carsley told him he'd been selected for England.
"I couldn’t quite believe it at first," he revealed. "It was a feeling of pride. I was with my partner. Then I phoned my dad and he was very proud, the fact I had played for England through the age groups and now I was in the seniors.
"All my family were delighted."
England's win over Ireland was Carsley's final game of his interim stint as England head coach.
Harwood-Bellis, 23, will be hoping to keep his spot in the team when Thomas Tuchel names his first squad since his appointment on Friday.
Tuchel replaced Gareth Southgate and has been observing plenty of action up and down the country ahead of revealing his first England squad.
