Former Ireland star Robbie Keane enjoyed a reunion with Tottenham Hotspur legends during Ireland's 5-0 loss to England. Despite the disappointing result, Keane posed for photos with Glenn Hoddle, Jermaine Defoe, and Aaron Lennon at Wembley Stadium.
Robbie Keane met up with a number of Tottenham Hotspur legends during Ireland 's 5-0 loss to England on Sunday. Keane was spotted in the crowd on TV alongside Spurs Royalty Glenn Hoddle, Jermaine Defoe and Aaron Lennon.

Keane played for many clubs throughout his illustrious career but spent most of his peak in North London and helped Spurs win the League Cup in 2008, their last major title.

That decision to bring Keane in was criticised by some fans and pundits who are unhappy with Keane's decision to work for Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv from 2023-2024. Keane took over as head coach of the side in the summer of 2023 just months before the conflict between Israel and Palestine escalated to unprecedented levels. Last week, Keane's wife Claudine took to social media to claim that she no longer feels safe in Ireland following the backlash to Keane's stint in Israel. 'I would just like to remind a certain small group of individuals my family, my children and I live in Ireland, this is our home,' wrote Claudine on social media. 'I feel extremely uncomfortable and sometimes intimidated by some messages again from a small group that are hurtful, threatening and dangerous
