Robbie Keane meets up with Spurs legends during Ireland hammering at Wembley
Four great Tottenham Hotspur players met up at Wembley on Sunday.
Robbie Keane met up with a number of Tottenham Hotspur legends during Ireland's 5-0 loss to England on Sunday.
Keane was spotted in the crowd on TV alongside Spurs Royalty Glenn Hoddle, Jermaine Defoe and Aaron Lennon.
The quartet were seated together at Wembley as England recovered from a sloppy opening 45 minutes to trounce Ireland 5-0 with a commanding second-half display.

While the result won't have pleased Robbie, Ireland's record goalscorer was still able to crack a smile as he posed alongside three other Tottenham Hotspur legends.
Keane played for many clubs throughout his illustrious career but spent most of his peak in North London and helped Spurs win the League Cup in 2008, their last major title.
The former striker was invited by the FAI into the Ireland camp last week and presented players with their caps ahead of the season-ending fixtures against England and Finland.
That decision to bring Keane in was criticised by some fans and pundits who are unhappy with Keane's decision to work for Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv from 2023-2024.
Keane took over as head coach of the side in the summer of 2023 just months before the conflict between Israel and Palestine escalated to unprecedented levels.
Last week, Keane's wife Claudine took to social media to claim that she no longer feels safe in Ireland following the backlash to Keane's stint in Israel.
"I would just like to remind a certain small group of individuals my family, my children and I live in Ireland, this is our home," wrote Claudine on social media.
"I feel extremely uncomfortable and sometimes intimidated by some messages again from a small group that are hurtful, threatening and dangerous.
"They not only genuinely put our safety and wellbeing as a family at risk, they are using a sportsperson as a political pawn and in doing so inciting hatred by making absolutely outrageous accusations.
"I always felt safe in Ireland until now. I always wanted to move home, bring my kids up here and enjoy the Ireland that both me and my husband love.
"They are taking every bit of enjoyment and safety away from me and my family.
"We love our country, we are not politicians, we have never done any wrong.
"My husband spent the majority of his adult life committed to the Ireland team, total and utter commitment."
