They included his Nottingham Forest shirt from the 1991 FA Cup final and his United contracts.

Meanwhile, Keane also produced a photo of his parents which was taken during his playing career.

It resulted in a poignant moment for the Irishman as he was comforted by Ian Wright.

As Keane revealed the snap of his parents, he said: “You’re on about photos, look at that there.

“You’re on about family, the ups and downs of football. But when you see your family at Wembley after you’ve won a big game…”

Keane then passed the photo to Gary Neville before becoming visibly emotional.

Wright was then seen reaching over and tapping his leg, with the former England striker comforting his friend in a touching moment.

Wright put his hand on Keane’s shoulder as he held back tears after discussing his parents.

As Neville, Jill Scott and Jamie Carragher looked at the photo, Wright could be heard saying ‘it’s a good one’ and ‘that’s beautiful’.

He then took it back to look at with Keane as well as holding it up to the camera.

Recognising Keane’s reaction, Scott added: “That’s why photographs are so good to keep, aren’t they?

“Some people have the photographs instead of [having them] on their phone.”

Keane’s trophy-laden career saw him win the FA Cup four times with the Red Devils.

However, his cup final appearance with Forest in 1991 ended in a 2-1 defeat after extra-time.

During his time at United he also won the treble in 1999 and seven Premier League titles.
