Robbie glad to be back on the ball

TERRY VENABLES would have laughed at the irony of it all. Robbie Keane spent yesterday in Dublin juggling a ball and extolling the virtues of the Sony Playstation, a computer company who advise you not to underestimate the power of their product.

Given the events at White Hart Lane 24 hours earlier, El Tel had discovered the punishment for that particular crime.

Keane, the striker he deemed surplus to requirements at Elland Road, came back to haunt him in thrilling goal of the season fashion for Spurs. Needless to say he was a little chuffed.
