My Take
Robbie Keane is the kind of footballer I instinctively root for. At 175 cm he was never the most imposing striker, yet he became Ireland's record cap-holder and top scorer while carrying the captain's armband for a decade. To me that says more about will and instinct than physique. What I respect most is the longevity: still good enough to win an MVP award in MLS late in his career, then pivoting into management all the way to the Ferencváros job. He embodies the grafter's path rather than the prodigy's, and I think that makes his goals tally feel genuinely earned.
