Biography:

Robbie Keane is a football player who currently plays for both Tottenham Hotspurs FC and his national side, the Republic of Ireland as a striker. He is a popular figure whose distinctive goal celebration of running to one side of the field to perform a round-off to a cartwheel on the pitch, ending on one knee, and then miming the shooting of an arrow with his longbow or to quick-fire pistols rapidly with his hands is a famed sight on the pitch.

Following his appointment as the new manager of the Republic of Ireland, Steve Staunton has made Keane his new international captain. In their first game under Staunton, Keane scored the second goal in the 3-0 victory against Sweden at Lansdowne Road, and celebrated the final match at the Lansdowne Road stadium, against San Marino, with a hat trick.
