Robbie Keane took some time out to see the team as they prepare for the World Games next year

On last night’s Late Late Show Robbie Keane and his wife Claudine spoke about their work with Special Olympics Ireland and revealed that he had been to visit the team in Crumlin.

Now we have footage of the visit and it is just great.

Ireland’s record goalscorer talks about how much he loved the session, how excited the team were about the upcoming World Games and what it meant to him to represent Ireland.

With the upcoming World Games being held in LA next year, Robbie also said he’ll hook up with the team again when they reach California.

Top man.
