Back to my roots - Robbie Keane

Robbie Keane is the embodiment of the phrase "living the dream".  Growing up in Dublin, his bedroom walls were covered with posters of his Liverpool idols and now he's strutting his stuff in front of the Kop on a regular basis.

Club Website recently caught up with Liverpool's latest number 7 and took him back to his roots to hear about his experience of grassroots football in Dublin, his big move over to England as a teenager, fulfilling his boyhood dreams at Liverpool and what it means to be his country's captain and leading goalscorer.
