Scott Law went on trial last week after pleading not guilty to a charge of common assault
in relation to an incident where he and Mr Keane clashed on September 3rd last year.
Giving evidence to the court, Mr Richards, a former Manchester City defender, denied accusations by Law’s defence barrister that he had claimed to see the headbutt because he was “Roy’s mate” and had become his “puppy” and “stooge”. Following the match, footage was widely shared on social media of the former footballer stepping in to calm an apparent confrontation.
“Mr Keane picked me out and started telling me to see him outside. He was pointing to doors in the box.” Law, who cried while being questioned, said: “I put my head down in a defensive manner to protect my face.”
