Keane, Robbie (1980– )| Irish footballer. He spent two seasons with Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring 24 goals in 79 appearances before signing for Coventry City in September 1999 for a fee of £6 million, making him the most expensive teenage player in Britain. In July 2000, he was transferred to Italian team Inter Milan for a fee of £13 million. The Italian club loaned him to Leeds in December 2000 for the rest of the season, after he failed to hold down a regular first-team place, and the move was made permanent at the end of the season. There he was similarly restricted to substitute appearances and moved to Tottenham Hotspur in August 2002. In October 2004 he broke Niall Quinn's Irish goalscoring record, becoming the top goalscorer in his country's history. In 2006 he was made captain of the national side. |
