Video: We could be seeing a hell of a lot more of Robbie Keane in the near future

Given what he just went through at the Euros, Robbie Keane could be forgiven for taking a back seat for a while, but instead we might be seeing more of him than ever.

In fact, wherever you go around the world, you mightn’t be able to escape the sight of the Irish skipper, certainly if a marketing scheme by the LA Galaxy goes to plan.

The club are urging fans to print out paper masks of Ireland’s all-time leading goalscorer, to take pictures of him wherever they might roam throughout the globe and to send them in via social media channels to be in with a chance to win a prize.

LA Galaxy issued this promotional video of Robbie on YouTube yesterday (see above) and in fairness to Keane, his acting isn’t nearly as bad as one might have expected.

Robbie will be choosing his favourite snap from all the entries the club receive, with the winners bagging a couple of tickets to a Galaxy match and the chance to meet Robbie in person afterwards.

And while a picture of a Robbie mask beside the Sydney Opera House might look pretty sweet, we reckon that a picture beside the Spire or one of the many landmarks in Keane’s hometown would surely be enough to influence his judgement.

As Robbie says himself, let’s do this (Irish) Galaxy fans.
