Roy Keane and Micah Richards like you've never seen them before! Sky pundits dress up for campaign ahead of new Premier League season

Sky Sports favourites Roy Keane and Micah Richards have undergone a makeover for a new Sky Bet campaign – as Victorian gentlemen.

The former Manchester United captain and Manchester City star have become known for their on-screen chemistry, but now they have been taken back to a different era, featuring some impressive facial hair.

Footage shared by Sky in a teaser shows the duo walking down in the stands at a football ground, suited and booted with coffee in hands.

The outfits are completed by waistcoats and some classic hats. 

Another image features the two in the car park, a bit more casual with Keane losing the hat. They are, though, using an old-fashioned football.

The campaign is set to mark the start of the new football season, with the Football League beginning on the weekend of August 8 with the Carabao Cup.

League action will then start the weekend after, with the Premier League starting when Arsenal take on Coventry on August 21.

Sky’s campaign featuring Keane and Richards will launch on August 7.

Both pundits will be regular on Sky’s channels again this season.
