And he proved it by drop-kicking a ball across a massive garden into a basketball net on the other side.

That sparked a big celebration as Keane fist-pumped the air with a huge smile on his face.

But now aged 42, the Irishman decided against performing his trademark cartwheel celebration.

Fans were in awe and Keane's former Republic of Ireland team-mate Shay Given wrote: "Class you never lose it."

Top Gear presenter Paddy McGuinness added: "Another day at the office. ????"

One fan joked: "Kinda disappointed in the celebration… I was waiting for the cartwheel and guns! ????"

And another doubted if it was real, saying: "Real or fake? Be honest bro ????"

Liverpool legend Ian Rush also complimented the ex-Reds star by posting two clapping emojis in the comments.

Keane has worked as an assistant manager with Ireland and Middlesbrough since hanging up his boots.

Most recently he was linked with the Portsmouth's manager job in January following the sacking of Danny Cowley.

Keane scored 126 Premier League goals in 349 appearances during a superb playing career.

He featured for a host of big clubs including Wolves, Leeds, Tottenham, Liverpool, West Ham and Aston Villa.
