Daniele De Rossi met his idol Roy Keane in Rome yesterday and had dinner with the ex-Manchester United midfielder, Jamie Carragher, Ian Wright, and Gary Neville.

Premier League legends Roy Keane, Carragher, Wright and Gary Neville paid a surprise visit to Roma boss Daniele De Rossi on Thursday.

It was a meaningful meeting for De Rossi as the former midfielder, now the Roma coach, has never hidden his admiration for Keane.

A few years ago, De Rossi said that the ex-Manchester United star was the only person he’s ever asked for a picture with.

“I was too embarrassed to ask to Maradona, but I couldn’t resist with Roy.”

Keane, Carragher, Wright and Neville spent the last few days in Italy for their podcast series, The Overlap, and were spotted in Turin a few days ago.
