Robbie Keane hopeful of a scoring send-off: ‘I’m always chasing the next one’

"The whole game is going to be very difficult but the minute that the whistle goes, the first thing I will be thinking of is scoring a goal."

“It’s the first time — which is ironic — that my young son Hudson is going to walk out with me and it’s my last time ever to play for Ireland. So it’s going to be a special moment and something I will certainly treasure.”

So said Robbie Keane, with a discernible catch in his voice, as he gave his final pre-match press conference as an Irish player at FAI headquarters, writes Liam Mackey.
