Robbie Keane and LA Galaxy train with the Special Olympics Ireland soccer team
Robbie Keane brought his LA Galaxy teammates to a very special training session yesterday - with Special Olympics Ireland’s 11-a-side and 5-a-side soccer teams in Malahide.
The MLS champions are in Dublin for the week as part of a European pre-season tour and Robbie has been showing them the sights ahead of their friendly match against Shamrock Rovers on Saturday.
