Former Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane appeared on Qatari National TV last night.
The legendary forward popped up on BeIN Sports as part of their coverage of day three of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Alongside Robbie Keane in studio last night was iconic Italian striker Alessandro Del Piero, while BeIN Sport stalwarts Richard Keys and Andy Gray also made an appearance.

Keane's wife Claudine took to Instagram last night to share a snap of her husband during his TV appearance.
"Well Hello @RobbieKeane @BeinSports" is how Claudine captioned her Instagram story.
The Qatari State broadcaster has enlisted some mega stars for their World Cup coverage.
Perhaps the biggest of which is Sky Sports pundit and former Manchester United star Gary Neville. The ex-fullback, who drew the ire of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portuguese star's recent interview with Piers Morgan, has come in for some criticism for appearing on the channel.
Neville has also made appearances on ITV in the past couple of days and when asked about the controversy, he insisted that he doesn't feel conflicted about appearing on the Qatar State broadcaster despite the human rights issues in the country.
"I don't feel conflicted. I've been coming over to the Middle East for 20 years and to South East Asia," Neville told ITV Sport.
"I've had business and commercial relationships with these parts for a long, long time. The fact FIFA has awarded a World Cup has come under intense scrutiny, I accept that position. I'm there to be shot at and people have criticised me heavily.
"People have criticised our colleagues on the BBC for coming over here but the reality of it is, my view on it quite simply is I detest human rights abuses, I hate the idea of not paying people enough money, people working in poor conditions, the idea of people not having good living conditions.
"The fact that women's rights aren't adhered to and human rights abuses, I can't stand it. I also have relationships in this part of the world and have done for many years, those relationships are long-standing, long-standing in the UK."
