GAA toughened me up, says Keane

Ireland captain Robbie Keane has credited the GAA for giving him the toughness to succeed in football.

The Tallaght man has played for 10 soccer clubs attracting transfer fees of almost £90m (€111m) and at 32 scored his sixth play-off goal this weekend as LA Galaxy lifted the MLS Cup.

Keane wants to play in the US for a “number of years” and says he has not even thought yet about a loan move to the Premier League in January.
