Former Tottenham Hotspur striker Robbie Keane feels that it will be a huge occasion for him to line up against his former side in the match between the MLS All Stars and the Lilywhites later this week.
Keane, who plays for Major League Soccer side Los Angeles Galaxy at present, is expected to take to the field for the MLS All Stars side against Mauricio Pochettino's side at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park on Wednesday.
According to the 35-year-old, it will be an opportunity to relish and will be as big as any basketball, baseball or NFL games in the US.
The occasion will be even more special for Keane, as the player himself reveals, as it will give him the opportunity to lock horns with his former side.
“The All Star game is a big occasion for the league and something you see over here in basketball, baseball and NFL", Keane told Tottenham's official website.

“Every player in the MLS wants to be involved in this game.
“This is a special one for me because it’s against Tottenham, my club, the club where I felt I made my name and had a big impact.
“Everyone knows Spurs is a club very close to my heart, so this is a big deal for me.”
Keane enjoyed two different spells at White Hart Lane, first between 2002 and 2008 and then between 2009 and 2011, managing a total of 291 appearances, scoring 117 goals.
