Los Angeles Galaxy and Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane has paid tribute to his cousin Alan Harris, who recently died in a sewage accident.

The father of two passed away as a result of gas poisoning while working alongside his brother Stephen.

The pair were tending to a broken pipe six metres underground at an upmarket estate in Portmarnock, North County Dublin.

Following the tragic news, Keane took to Facebook to pay tribute to Mr Harris and express his support to Stephen, who is critically ill in hospital.

Alongside a photo of the two brothers, Keane wrote: "As you can imagine it's been a very difficult time for our family may Alan RIP and we continue to pray for Stephen thanks everyone for your kind messages and support."

Keane is expected to play in Saturday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Scotland in Dublin.
