Keane paraded before Spurs game

New Tottenham striker Robbie Keane was paraded on the White Hart Lane pitch before this afternoon’s Premiership clash with Southampton, after manager Glenn Hoddle sealed his £7m transfer from Leeds this morning.

The Republic of Ireland star signed too late to make his debut against Saints, but Les Ferdinand was hoping to open his account for the season after returning to the Spurs side.

He was one of three changes to the team that won 1-0 at Charlton in midweek, along with Ben Thatcher and summer signing Milenko Acimovic.

Out went injured duo Christian Ziege and Anthony Gardner, while Goran Bunjevcevic dropped to the bench.

Southampton boss Gordon Strachan rested Marian Pahars by leaving him on the bench, with Fabrice Fernandes starting.

James Beattie started his 100th game for the Saints, while skipper Chris Marsden also made his 100th appearance.

There was expected to be some bad blood between the fans following the controversial way in which Hoddle left Southampton to take charge of Spurs last year
