Roy Keane may have a tough exterior, but when he’s with his grandchildren, it’s safe to say that he’s a big softie.
The former Ireland captain celebrated turning 54 in style, surrounded by his family.
He shared snaps of them all soaking up the sun by the pool.
The first picture in the Instagram carousel sees Roy lying on a colourful pool floatie in the centre of the pool.

He went on to share pictures of him cuddling his youngest grandchild inside as well as snaps of him at the beach with his older grandchildren.
Other photos see him in the pool with the older two.
“Happy Birthday to me. All the gifts I need,” he wrote simply.
So sweet!
