Andy Keogh

A sixteen-year-old Keogh left Ireland for Leeds United but didn't make a single appearance for the Elland Road club before transferring to Scunthorpe in January 2005 for £50,000. Having already spent a period on-loan at the Irons, Keogh was a significant figure as Brian Laws's side were promoted to League One in second place.

The following season was the real breakthrough for the effervescent Irishman as he linked up with new signing Billy Sharp and the pair struck 38 goals in their side's promotion to the Championship. January 2007 saw Keogh reject Scunthorpe's offer of a new deal and he moved to Wolves for an initial £600,000 with his contract at Glanford Park running out at the end of the season.

He has proven to be a real hit since moving to Molineux, signing a new three-year contract in February 2009 as well as becoming a regular fixture in Giovanni Trapattoni's Ireland squad.
