Roy Keane and Martin O’Neill have been selected in Nottingham Forest’s greatest ever team

Roy Keane and Martin O'Neill have an uncanny amount in common.

They both have links to Celtic, Sunderland and Aston Villa as well as the little matter of their current involvement with the Republic of Ireland national team. And now, in their latest quirk of commonality, both Keane and O'Neill have been recognised as two of the greatest Nottingham Forest players of all time. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the foundation of Nottingham Forest, a gala dinner took place on Monday night. And at the ceremony, Forest's greatest ever XI was selected position by position. O'Neill, who made 371 appearances for Forest, was selected on the right wing while there was no surprise to see Keane in the centre of midfield. https://twitter.com/Official_NFFC/status/727224693862879233 Other notable selections were Peter Shilton in goal, Stuart Pearce at left back and Stan Collymore up front.
