This afternoon.

US-based footballer Robbie Keane at Our Lady’s Childrens Hospital in Crumlin [Dublin] to donate a cheque worth $50,000 from the LA Galaxy Foundation and Herbalife to CMRF Crumlin, the fundraising arm of the hospital. Robbie also helped launch the hospital’s lenten ‘Give It Up‘ campaign.

Mmmf.

From top: Grace Keneally (in the isolation unit) and Aidan Doyle, aged 5.

Wait for it.

Hollywood Bob’s first goal of an eventual hat-trick from the ‘Keane Kam’ worked by Peter O’Doherty at the World Cup qualifier between Ireland  and the Faroe Islands in Lansdowne Road, Dublin, last night.

Robbie Keane and Morrissey in the LA Galaxy changing room on Tuesday night.

And that’s not all.

Morrisey writes:

It was a joyous head-storm to attend LA Galaxy -v- Club Tijuana last night and to see captain Robbie Keane score in the fourth minute. Why, exactly?
Well, family tree aficionados will be aware that Robbie and I share the same Irish blood; his late grandfather (Thomas Nolan) being my own father’s cousin. In filial terms the Irish blood, English heart genetic between Robbie and I is evident – his chin is my chin, my chin is his. Robbie was raised on Captains Road (as was my mother) in Crumlin (Dublin), before he was shipped out to Tallaght.
He is a gentleman of the highest caliber (or, if you must, calibre), and to watch him on the pitch – pacing like a lion, as weightless as an astronaut, is pure therapy. Robbie, the pleasure, the privilege is mine.

 

*thud*.

Suggested song titles welcome below.

Just watching LA Galaxy vs Vancouver Whitecaps MLS game. Robbie Keane scored in the first half for Galaxy and held up a jersey in tribute to James Nolan.

“You’ve got Robbie Keane. All-time scorer of the Irish international team…a cousin of mine… Robbie arrived [at LA Galaxy] halfway through last season scored his first goal in the first 21 minutes of his first game. His team mates were so happy to have him they filled his locker with what they call the ‘Pleasures of Ireland’. Guinness, Bailey’s and Irish Spring [a soap brand]. Hopefully Robbie’s broadened their horizons since then.”

Obama gives a shout-out (go to 1.29) to Robbie Keane during a visit by LA Galaxy to The White House yesterday.
