Robert David "Robbie" Keane (born 8 July 1980) is an Irish professional footballer who plays as a striker and is captain of both Los Angeles Galaxy and the Republic of Ireland national team.
He began his professional career at Wolverhampton Wanderers, scoring twice on his first team debut aged 17. The following season he was the club's leading goalscorer and scored his first international goal for the Republic of Ireland. He changed club frequently between 1999 and 2002, breaking transfer fee records, but his brief spells at Inter Milan and Leeds United were unexceptional. He joined Tottenham Hotspur in 2002 and played there for six years. The 2007–08 season was the most fruitful of his career as he set a career record of 23 goals in a season, including a landmark 100th competitive goal and won his first senior honour, the League Cup.
Keane moved to Liverpool in July 2008 but he spent only six months at the club before returning to Tottenham, where he was made first team captain. In January 2010, he moved on loan to Scottish Premier League side Celtic for the rest of the season, and spent the second half of the following season loaned to West Ham United. He left Tottenham for LA Galaxy in 2011, and in January 2012 went to Aston Villa on a two-month loan, during the Major League Soccer off-season. He is the tenth-highest goalscorer in Tottenham's history and scored 126 Premier League goals, which ranks him as the thirteenth-most successful goal scorer in the history of the Premier League.

His honours include two FA Cups, three League Cups, one UEFA Champions League, one UEFA Cup, and two UEFA Super Cups. Gerrard scored Liverpool's first goal and won the penalty kick for the third as Liverpool came from 3–0 down to defeat Milan in the 2005 Champions League Final. He joined Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy in July 2015, following the conclusion of the 2014–15 season with Liverpool.

In the world so all alone
You get to feeling that you're on your own
Troubled times seem to be a way of life
And the day it feels so gray
You wonder if you'll have to a place to stay
Somewhere to go to keep out the rain and the cold
Now don't you wonder
How you'll survive until spring
Just hear the thunder
To you it sings (oh yeah)
To you it sings (pretty mama)
Chorus:
I'm gonna take care of everything
I'm gonna take care of you
I'm gonna take care of everything
I'm gonna take care of you
So you'll know the feeling
That my thundering soul has for you
I'll be revealing
All the love in my heart that's for you
In the warmth that's in our home
Then you'll realize you're not alone
Troubled times will fade and then pass away
