Robbie Keane shares heartbreaking post as he remembers mother who recently passed away

Robbie Keane shared a loving post as he remembered his beloved mother.

Anne Keane passed away last October and took to social media to pay tribute to his mother.

Ireland's record goalscorer said on social media: "Happy Mother’s Day mam I still can’t believe you're gone we all miss you so much thanks for everything @claudinekeane1 thanks for being the best mother to the boys we love you".

And Robbie's wife Claudine said: "Hope you’re flying high with the angels today Anne".

While Lianne Anderson added: "Thinking of you".

Robbie spoke at Anne's funeral back in October, hailing his mother as "the rock that held everything together".

He said at the time: "There's so many words to describe our mother, kind, caring, loving, generous, selfless, strong and resilient.

"But the words that sum her up the most are that she is family oriented.

"She lived (for) and loved her family. Family was everything to her.

"As a child growing up, we knew with no uncertainty how much we were loved.

"And although we worked for everything that we got, my mother was always determined for us to have the best life possible.

"She held two jobs, worked so hard and everything that she did was for her children."
