Porto move the goalposts to commemorate victory

ROBBIE KEANE may still be hoping to plot his latest transfer but one big move was instigated from the Republic of Ireland’s home to UEFA Europa League champions Porto yesterday.

It wasn’t one of Giovanni Trapattoni’s squad who has been the subject of the negotiations, however, but the set of goalposts into which the Portuguese side’s striker Falcao headed the winner at the Aviva Stadium three months ago.

Not content with keeping the match ball to commemorate the historic occasion — they beat Portuguese rivals Braga in the May 18 decider — the Futebol Clube do Porto management were in touch last month to arrange the deal for the goals.
