GALLERY: Robbie Keane on his final Ireland appearance

There are some iconic images here.

Robbie Keane played his final game for Ireland against Oman on Wednesday evening, and scored.

Typical.

The LA Galaxy striker finishes his Ireland career on 68 goals – level with Germany’s great Gerd Muller – and he was given an emotional farewell in Dublin.

Here are the best images as Ireland’s leading goalscorer of all time bowed out.
