What Do Ice Baths and Laughs Have in Common? Roy Keane’s Chilly Take on Comedy!

Roy Keane isn’t diving into ice baths anytime soon—find out why, plus the hilarious future of his comedy with Neville and Carragher!

Roy Keane, the fiery ex-footballer known for his no-nonsense attitude both on and off the pitch, has recently found himself in hot water—well, at least not in any ice baths! Deirdre Reynolds recently commented on social media about Keane’s rather frosty feelings towards post-match ice baths, suggesting that perhaps he needs to ‘chill out’ a bit. After all, when it comes to recovery, the modern athlete has all sorts of options, but Keane remains stubbornly traditional, preferring the warmth of a good old-fashioned football debate over freezing water therapy.

In an unexpected twist, while Keane shuns the icy plunge, he’s diving right back into the world of television. Sky Max has officially greenlit a second season of ‘The Overlap On Tour,’ the sports comedy show featuring a lively blend of banter and insights from football legends, including Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. Audiences have clearly loved seeing these three riff off each other, offering not just their expertise on the game, but also revealing some surprisingly amusing anecdotes from their footballing escapades. The chemistry is undeniable, and fans can rest easy knowing there’s more hilarity to come!

Combine Keane’s cool dismissal of ice baths with this comedic revival, and you have a recipe for a triumph that’s sure to keep sports fans entertained. With the likes of Keane—who would probably take a cold shower over a cushy ice bath—on one side, and the jovial Carragher and Neville on the other, viewers are in for a treat. Fans can expect more laugh-out-loud moments and insightful takes on football philosophy, where Keane’s stern expressions provide the perfect contrast to Neville’s and Carragher’s more light-hearted jibes. It’s a dynamic that keeps everyone guessing and glued to their screens!

As everyone gears up for the new series, it’s fun to remember that Roy Keane’s ice bath aversion is just one of the many personality quirks that make him such a beloved—and sometimes feared—figure in football. He’s the man who once said, “I wouldn’t say I was the best, but I was definitely in the top one.” And who can forget his legendary outbursts that sent the football world into fits of laughter and disbelief?

Speaking of laughter, here’s an interesting tidbit: Did you know that Gary Neville was voted the best English right-back of all time by fans? Talk about high praise! And while we’re on the topic of quirky personalities, Jamie Carragher is equally known for his hilarious punditry, which sometimes includes critiquing football with the expertise of a master chef judging soufflés! Prepare for a season that promises to be just as entertaining as it is enlightening. Now, if only Roy could loosen up about those ice baths...
