Thomas Roderick "Rory" Keane (born Limerick, Republic of Ireland, 31 August 1922; died Swansea, Wales, 13 February 2004) was an Irish footballer who spent most of his career at Swansea Town.
A hard-tackling defender, he is still regarded as one of Swansea's greatest ever players.
Keane was also a dual internationalist and played for both Ireland teams – the IFA XI and the FAI XI.
Two broken legs limited his international career to just five caps and he eventually retired after breaking his leg for a third time.
Keane then settled in south Wales where he lived until his death in 2004.
His grandson, Jamie Harris is also a notable footballer.
He began his career with Swansea City and has also played for several clubs in the League of Ireland.
