Robbie Keane was last night inducted into the FAI Hall of Fame at the FAI International Awards last night.
The former Republic of Ireland captain and Ireland’s record goalscorer retired from international duty last September, after 68 goals in 146 appearances.
Some of Keane’s former teammates and managers paid tribute to him in this emotional RTE video:
