Tributes have been pouring in all afternoon for Robbie Keane, ahead of his final match representing Ireland.
Last week, the Tallaght native announced his retirement from international football, and said that he would be focusing on his club career with LA Galaxy in the future.
The footballer is set to hang up his green jersey after today’s Republic of Ireland match against Oman at the Aviva Stadium.
In honour of this, fans of Robbie have taken to Twitter in their droves to pay tribute to the sports star, even getting #ThanksRobbie trending on the social media site.
