Robbie Keane's tough year has ended on a heartbreaking note after the Ireland star revealed his grandmother has died.
Bernadette Keane, who was known as Ettie, passed away at Glenaulin Nursing Home in Chapelizod. Ettie was the mother of Robbie's dad, also called Robbie, who died at the age of just 50 in 2003.
It's the second family bereavement the Republic of Ireland's record cap holder and goal scorer has faced in recent months after his beloved mum Anne died in October. Robbie shared news of Ettie's death on Instagram yesterday, posting a pic of his adored granny, simply titled, "RIP Nanny Keane" followed by a broken heart emoji.
