Irish football legend Paul McGrath bumped into two other famous former teammates in Manchester Airport recently, as he shared a photograph with Roy Keane and Niall Quinn.

The trio were all on the way home to Ireland as they reunited for a chance encounter.

McGrath and Keane both played for Manchester United, but their spells did not coincide as McGrath left in 1989 and Keane arrived at Old Trafford in 1993.

They did play together for Ireland at the World Cup in the USA in 1994, a tournament which Quinn missed out on due to injury.

Quinn also has links to Manchester as he played for Manchester City from 1990 until 1996.
