After a horrendous six months at Liverpool, Robbie Keane is now back at the Lane.
The former Tottenham vice-captain and crowd favourite finally opted to up-sticks from N17 in favour of a move to his boyhood club (or at least one of them), Liverpool.
The cartwheeling forward spent six years at White Hart Lane, although it wasn't until Dimitar Berbatov's arrival at the club that he really cemented a regular place in the team or bothered the top-scorers lists: 49 of his 107 goals for the Lilywhites came after the Bulgarian joined in May 2006.
A succession of Spurs managers had, at one time or another, eulogised the efforts of the former Coventry and Inter Milan player, with current manager Juande Ramos claiming Keane to be, “Very skilful and a big influence on the team.”
Alongside Dimitar Berbatov, Keane had formed one of the Premier League’s most potent strike partnerships; in their two years together they combined to score 91 goals.
However after Spurs finished a disappointing 11th in 2007/08, Keane seized upon the chance to jump ship, moving to Anfield in a controversial £20m move. That took his overall transfer fees to a whopping £58m after a career that has featured big-money moves from Wolves to Coventry, then Inter, Leeds, Spurs and Liverpool.
After a dissapointing six months at Liverpool in which Keane was dropped several times by Rafael Benitez, the striker re-joined Tottenham on the last day of the winter transfer window for £12m and was given the captains armband straight away.
