WATCH: Mario Rosenstock | Sport impressions, Roy Keane, a colourful golf phrase

Comedian, actor and impressionist Mario Rosenstock spoke to OTB this afternoon about his love of sport - from football to tennis, rugby and golf.

The world of sport is ripe for satire and he brought a few familiar voices to proceedings, rattling through his takes on Johnny Sexton, Brian O'Driscoll, Brian Kerr and Robbie Keane...

The Gift Grub-man also shared his memories of meeting Roy Keane.

He told us exactly why he thinks the Ireland and Manchester United legend is a natural showman - with a head for showbiz.

Turning to golf, he discussed his love of the sport and fond memories of hitting the fairways with Today FM colleague Tony Fenton.

This partnership resulted in them being paired with Dutch golfer Joost Luiten at the Irish Open pro-am.

When Fenton sliced a shot and lamented that he was after 'tearing the knickers off it,' it was much to Luiten's amusement.

The pro was so-taken with the phrase that Mario overheard him repeating it through a TV mic months later after a dodgy shot!
