Robbie Keane

Keane is in the top 20 Premier League goalscorers since it's inception. Whatever about his post career job choices (questionable) or his managerial ability (unproven), his position as our best ever striker to date is not in any doubt.

Worth noting too Olympiakos are in the Conference League final after home and away wins over Aston Villa. The 6-1 collapse was a pretty bad result (not helped by being in a neutral venue), but in that case I think it has to be noted the 4-1 away win was an exceptional performance.

A good achievement for Robbie, even if you have to consider the strength of his side relative to the rest of the league. Seeded in the Second Round of CPL qualifying next year, if he's still there, could end up drawing Rovers. But he'll need to move on to somewhere a bit more competitive if he's to really make his mark as a manager. MLS maybe, but could see someone in the English second tier taking a gamble. Regardless, there's no way they'll hire him for the Ireland job at the moment.

A lot of absolute rubbish being spouted about Robbie on here. Irish legend and one of the top PL goalscorers ever. Gave us some amazing moments in the green. Lovely fella too by all accounts. Boggles the mind that we still have some Irish fans belittling his achievements.
