Ireland's all-time goalscorer Robbie Keane is known for his achievements on a football pitch.
But what you might not know is that he's cousins with Barack Obama. At least, that's what the former president of the United States claimed to the world, to the surprise of everyone, most of all Keane.
After Keane won the MLS with LA Galaxy in 2012 he was invited to the White House with his teammates to meet the then-president. Obama addressed the nation in a press conference, where he congratulated the squad standing behind him on their achievement and paid tribute to the former Liverpool and Tottenham forward.
