  Best mates: Roy Keane with his dog Triggs in 2002

   

  Roy Keane is mourning the passing of his dog Triggs. The golden labrador has been a constant companion for the Republic of Ireland legend.

  Keane, now boss of Ipswich, famously took Triggs for walks - followed by a mass of journalists - on his return home from the 2002 World Cup, when he walked out after a blazing row with Mick McCarthy.

  Never one for meeting his team-mates away from the pitch or training HQ, Keane trusted his dog more than his fellow players.

  Triggs passed away at the age of nine after a battle with cancer.

  A source was quoted in The Sun as saying: 'Roy has lost his best friend. Triggs has been a calming influence on him over the years. This news will have the Ipswich players panicking.'
