Memories of Keane winning fuck all.

To be fair, everyone gives Keane a hard time over his boyhood club statements when desiring to move to Liverpool and even Celtic.
But to be fair all Irish Catholics (pretty much) well love Celtic but this would not stop them having a favoured boyhood club from the more attractive English league.
Keane is 30 and as such at an age where Liverpool were still one of the very biggest clubs in the country and Liverpool is a club (along with Man U and Arsenal who are very well supported in the RoI)
So I don't doubt that both Celtic and Liverpool were boyhood teams of his and he probably did dream of playing for each as a youngster using jumpers for goalposts.
And at the end of the day no one ever gives Teddy stick for leaving us to go to Man U in not disimilar (albeit more successful) circumstances to how Robbie went to 'pool, and Teddy couldn't wait to wax on about how he used to watch West Ham as a kid when he signed for them.
Most Spurs fans loved Keane with a passion when he was first with us, I personally always thought him somewhat over rated but credit where credit is due he was a great servant to us and brought us a Carling Cup to boot
Said his goodbyes at the training ground today, my brother is a spammer (unfortunately) for him. he said to me today that he has heard that RK is on his way there, I know he reads alot of the spammer forums
Well said - hundreds of thousands of people from Ireland both North and South follow an English team and a Scottish team. May sound weird, but that's the way it is. Always thought Robbie got unfairly slagged off for that boyhood club stuff. Completey unfair.
Somebody above said he's never been a top Premier League striker. Only 10 players have scored more goals in the Premier League. Keane is even above Ian Wright. To suggest he (isn't) / wasn't a top Premier League striker is harsh and ..... wrong.
It's looking like he'll get to play for his boyhood east London club.
Serious question: Has Keane ever been part of a squad that got relegated? I'm thinking not till now.
Why are we doing business with that shower of shit is the question I would like answered. :bang:
Unfortunately they are the only cub silly enough to pay him £65k a week.
