PIC: Robbie Keane found himself stuck on LA freeway but a good Samaritan came to the rescue

Day saved

Darragh Murphy

Robbie Keane has salvaged many a result for club and country in his storied career.

But it was the Republic of Ireland legend himself who needed saving when his car ran out of fuel on the 405 Freeway as he made his way home from LA Galaxy training.

The striker was stranded before a kindly motorist pulled over to offer a helping hand.

Warren Williams was only too happy to fill Keane’s tank up so he could be on his way and the 36-year-old forward shared the moment on his Instagram, presenting a grateful grin.

Ol’ Warren won’t be stuck for a pint if he ever visits Tallaght with the story of how he saved the day for an Irish sporting hero.
