    The big fella. Or Rory Gallagher. Even though Rory was born in Donegal he considered himself a corkman

    Graham norton is likely the most known I think. But if we decide the rory gallagher counts then I'll change my vote.

    Fair point. I Just say that because graham interviews a lot of famous americans, his interviews have loads of youtube hits, for example the will smith dancing vid, thus loads of people in countries where roy keane isnt even vaguely well known will be aware of gramham norton. Id argue that outside of the uk and ireland, and to a lesser extent europe roy keane is fairly unknown.
