Rory Keane

Thomas Roderick "Rory" Keane (31 August 1922 – 13 February 2004) was an Irish footballer who spent most of his career at Swansea Town.

In June 1947, he signed for Swansea Town and quickly became a firm favourite with Swans fans.

The team also included Welsh internationals Jack Parry and Roy Paul and was one of the club's most successful sides of all time.

When Keane began his international career in 1948 there were, in effect, two Ireland teams, chosen by two rival associations.

As a result, several notable Irish players from this era, including Keane, played for both teams.

On 17 November 1948, Keane made his international debut with the IFA XI in a 3–2 defeat against Scotland at Hampden Park.
