Guinness World Records not keen on Robbie Keane’s goalscoring exploits

It’s bad news for Robbie as Guinness World Records has revealed they’re not keen on recognising his international goalscoring exploits.

In February, the Irish Examiner revealed how football supporter Joe McCarthy contacted Guinness World Records to suggest that Robbie Keane has achieved a feat unparalleled in the history of football. Joe runs the ‘Irish Abroad’ website, a statistics site which collects data on Irish players.

He realised that by finding the back of the net against Oman in his final game for the Republic of Ireland last year, Robbie Keane had scored a goal at international level for 19 consecutive years.
