Past playersRobbie Keane

    • Years: 2008-2009

    • Appearances: 28

    • Goals: 7

    Boyhood Liverpool fan Robbie Keane joined the Reds from Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2008.

    A creator and scorer of goals, his signing was considered a coup and supporters salivated at a potential striking partnership with Fernando Torres.

    Keane's spell with Liverpool would prove surprisingly short-lived, however, with the Republic of Ireland international in and mostly out of favour under manager Rafael Benitez.

    His first goal came in a Champions League tie against PSV Eindhoven, before he netted in matches at Atletico Madrid and Arsenal as well as Anfield doubles past West Bromwich Albion and Bolton Wanderers.

    But a deal was agreed for him to return to Spurs midway through the 2008-09 campaign.

    Having previously also represented Wolverhampton Wanderers, Coventry City, Internazionale and Leeds United, he later played for Celtic, West Ham United, Los Angeles Galaxy, Aston Villa and ATK.
