Anyway, Sunday night's Super Bowl clash between Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers was lit up early doors with the appearance of Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill.

That's right, he wasn't there just as a spectator who happened to drop in, he was there to analyse the thing too.

He wasn't there alone either. There was a certain Mr Keane accompanying him on the journey to San Francisco.
