Harry Redknapp has praised Robbie Keane for being everything good about Tottenham Hotspur - even when he's not in the team.[LNB]Left out: But Robbie Keane has still scored nine goals in 19 games this season[LNB]The Republic of Ireland skipper was left out of the side that lost 2-0 at Liverpool last week and has been a far-from-permanent fixture in the side this season.[LNB]And Redknapp insists the White Hart Lane captain has not once complained about his non-involvement after falling behind Jermaine Defoe and Peter Crouch in the striking pecking order.[LNB]He had been linked with a loan love to Celtic but this has failed to materialise.[LNB]Keane epitomises everything good about the club and confirms he lacks the prima donnas that other Premier League managers carry in their squads, according to Redknapp who told The Mirror: 'Robbie's attitude is first-class, absolutely first-class.[LNB]'He came in on Sunday, trained on Monday, bright as a button, even though he's disappointed.'He got left out at Liverpool, probably the first time in his career. He gets on with it, and that's brilliant when you've got people like that.[LNB]'I was talking to a Premier League manager who rang me to say he's got half a dozen sh**s at his club who just make it a nightmare to go to work.[LNB] What more do I have to to get picked? Robbie Keane has not complained about being dropped [LNB]'Robbie's a big player, he's played at the biggest clubs. When he's not in the team, he's still in the dressing-room, geeing everybody up, wishing everybody all the best. He isn't sitting there with a sulk or feeling sorry for himself.'[LNB]Redknapp has bracketed Keane with the very best players in the country, adding: 'You need people like that at your football club. That is what good football clubs have. Chelsea have got that, certainly, in (John) Terry and (Frank) Lampard.[LNB]'Sir Alex has got them in abundance with (Ryan) Giggs, (Paul) Scholes and Gary Neville. That is what makes a good football club I think when you have got people like that around. It is important and Robbie is important to us.'[LNB] Tottenham teenager Bostock told to learn Frank lesson after Brentford exitWe're no bottlers: Defoe insists Spurs will maintain top-four challengeHe came, he saw, he sulked, he scored but still Pavlyuchenko wants outNo more spot-kicks for you Jermain, says Spurs boss RedknappTOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
