New kid on the block Robbie so eager for action

“Robbie! Robbie!”

It might be a familiar shout on the Irish training pitch but yesterday it was being directed at a brand new face.

As Robbie Keane (121 caps, 54 goals) was winging his way back to LA, Robbie Brady (0 caps, 0 goals) was dashing up the wing in the little ground shared by AFC Wimbledon and Kingstonians, as the 20-year-old from Baldoyle — who thought he’d be flying off himself on U21 duty this weekend — made the most of his experience of a first training session with the senior squad.
