Villa striker Keane shrugs off Wolves jeers: Club still special for me

Aston Villa loan signing Robbie Keane was delighted with his brace in victory at Wolves.

Even the boos directed towards him by some Wolves fans did not tempt Keane to show any disrespect towards the club where he started his career.

Keane said: "I had wonderful times at Wolves and they are a club that looked after me as a kid.

"I'll never forget, they did so much for me. I've got a lot of friends at the club still and it's always great to come back.

"I'll never celebrate if I score against them. I never celebrate when I score against any of my former clubs out of respect.

"But you have to be professional, do the job for the team that you are with, and that's Aston Villa.

"You have to put everything to one side and concentrate on your own job."
