The former Manchester United captain celebrated his 54th birthday on Sunday by posting delightful photos and videos on Instagram, revealing a softer side that contrasts with his fierce on-field persona.
The Cork native, known for his uncompromising style as a midfielder, treated his followers to images of fun-filled days spent playing in swimming pools and building sandcastles on the beach with his grandchildren. In his Instagram caption, Keane expressed his joy, stating, "Happy Birthday to me. All the gifts I need."
This candid social media post highlights a different aspect of Keane, who built a formidable reputation during his time at Nottingham Forest, Manchester United, and Celtic. In the birthday celebration footage, Keane was seen relaxing on an inflatable in a swimming pool, sporting stylish sunglasses and a sun-kissed tan. Additional photos captured tender moments, such as him cradling his youngest grandchild in a cozy holiday home.
Beachside snapshots showcased Keane constructing sandcastles alongside one grandchild, while other poolside scenes depicted him beaming as he played with an inflatable dragon toy. Video clips featured an adventurous grandchild jumping into the water, with Keane joyfully lifting and tossing the child into the air.

Boxing trainer David Coldwell chimed in with, "The main man. Happy Birthday!" Many followers also playfully referenced Keane’s famous quotes, with one joking, "Looking after the grandkids? That’s his job."
Typically private about his personal life, Keane recently welcomed his newest grandchild in April, announcing the joyful news with a cheerful post.
