Record label will see Keane develop

HERE comes Robbie Keane, a silver stud sparkling in his ear and a smile plastered across his face.

He’s come a long way since the evening seven years ago when as an impish teenager he was sprung from the bench in Olomouc. He’s a record- breaker now.

The strange nature of Wednesday’s non-event was typified by Keane’s performance. Strange that on the night he broke the goal-scoring record, the same old concerns nag about our leading striker. In seven years, and 56 games, he has scored 23 times for his country.
