While the roots of Saipan run deep – stretching back the guts of a decade to a row on a bus in America – there was little sign that anything was amiss when the Republic of Ireland were drawn in the same group as Portugal and the Netherlands for the 2002 World Cup qualification campaign.

Roy Keane – the captain of the team and as fierce a winner as you could hope to have on your side was fuming. The match should never have been lost and celebrating a draw was not becoming of his team, he thought.
