Robbie Keane's Car Seized By Police
Irish soccer international Robbie Keane has had his car seized by police in England on suspicion of speeding.
Officers impounded the Tottenham striker's Range Rover because he did not have a valid driving licence.
The Republic of Ireland captain would have to reapply for a full licence and pay at least £105 (€130) to get the car back from the pound. Sources added Mr Keane, who was stopped in Loughton, Essex, yesterday, would be reported for speeding.
They said his licence was invalid because paperwork had not been completed after a previous speeding conviction.
Robbie Keane earns £60,000 (€76,286) from his London football club per week, which co-incidentally is the value of Range Rover Sport.
Essex Police said a man from Barnet, north London, had been stopped, adding: "His driver's licence had expired and the vehicle was seized."
