It's 15 years ago today since Robbie Keane scored his first-ever Ireland goal

The then-18-year-old hit a brace against Malta.

IT’S EXACTLY 15 years today since Robbie Keane scored his first (and second) goal for Ireland.

Keane was on target as Ireland comfortably beat Malta 5-0 in a Euro 2000 qualifier on October 14, 1998 at Lansdowne Road.

The striker, who is expected to play against Kazakhstan on Tuesday, went on to become his country’s record goalscorer and currently has 60 international goals in 129 appearances.
