EARLIER THIS WEEK, officials in Lionel Messi’s home town of Rosario announced plans to build a new museum to celebrate the Barcelona star’s life on and off the pitch.

It’s a great idea and it got us thinking — if Messi can have his own museum why can’t Tallaght’s finest, Robbie Keane?

If anyone ever builds it, here are 11 objects that have to be there.

1. One of the Tallaght kerbs that he used to hone his skills as a chisler

2. The family photo album

Obviously includes a few snaps of Robbie and cousin Jason Byrne…

10. The keys to the front door of Coppers

We presume Robbie and his Spurs team-mates didn’t queue up like the rest of us.
