The Ireland captain confirmed afterwards he had been in touch the with family to offer his personal condolences.

“It was for a young fan who went to Poland, 21 years of age, he drowned. It was very, very sad,” said Keane after the game. “I called his father today to send my condolences, send my thoughts to him and his family.

“Irish people are very close and stick to each other through good times and bad times. He was a big soccer fan and it was a shame, it was just a bit of respect really. I may give (the) shirt to his father, if he wants it.”
