Robbie Keane made a last-minute deadline day loan from Tottenham Hotspurs to Celtic. Of course, when players move, appearing before 5,000 welcoming fans, they tend to say the have fulfilled their lifelong ambition and all that shit. Ditto Robbie, that he fulfilled his boyhood dream – except that many thought he already did 19 months ago.

He declared as he appeared before the fans: “I’ve been a Celtic fan for years and always wanted to play for them. I’ve dreamed of this moment.”

Just after joining Liverpool, the Irishman had said: “I am a Liverpool fan. Joining Liverpool is a lifelong dream.”

Evidently, he needs little persuasion joining his “childhood” clubs.

“They are a massive club and, as a Celtic fan, I didn’t need much persuading to come here.”

A year ago, as he joined Liverpool: “They are a massive club and, as a fan, they didn’t have to sell themselves to Robbie Keane.”

Seems like he has plenty of clubs he is a fan of. Should be expecting more of the same when he signs for Cork City.
