Roy Keane has joked his daughter’s engagement to Taylor Harwood-Bellis is “not done and dusted” after the Southampton defender scored on his England debut against the Republic of Ireland.
Harwood-Bellis is due to marry Keane’s daughter Leah, but upset his future father-in-law by heading home the final goal of England’s 5-0 thumping over Ireland.
It came 17 minutes after he came on for his debut to cap a memorable night at Wembley for the 22-year-old.
Let's hope Taylor Harwood-Bellis hasn't ruined his relationship with his father-in-law-to-be, Roy Keane 🤣#ITVFootball | #ENGIRL pic.twitter.com/wrIX0T3Rzz

Keane, who played 67 times for Ireland between 1991 and 2005, said while working as a pundit for ITV: “It’s bittersweet for me this. It is not done and dusted yet.
“Things can change very quickly in the Keane household, let me tell you.
“Over the last few months he has got a goal threat, even playing for Southampton. It is nice for him.
“It’s good for him, it’s good for him to make his debut, like I say he has a goal threat.
“He’s a nice kid, his family have done a great job, he is a really nice kid.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
