Robbie Keane - one of the only players to leave ER who I still admire a great deal and hold in high regard, as a footballer and as a person.

He left us with his dignity fully intact. When he scored against us this season he refused to celebrate the goal; not wanting to rub salt in the wound - same against Wolves on Saturday and for previous clubs before us.

Applaudable attitude to have IMO. That kind of humility is hard to find in the modern game. Will always wish success and fulfillment on him.

It's very rare for a Leeds supporter to say this of an ex-player but quite righty I have a lot of time for this fella.
