Irish football pundit Roy Keane, 52, is as well known for his on and off-pitch feuds with fellow players and pundits as he is for his honours and achievements over the years
Roy Keane isn't one to bite his tongue and his bold criticism has got him roped into some fiery feuds over the years.
Alan Shearer Keane and Alan Shearer established themselves as Premier League icons whilst playing for two of England's biggest clubs. And even though their playing days came to an end long ago, the duo are still at the top of the league when it comes to football pundits. But their rivalry, which was forged on the pitch, over two decades ago is still raging on to this day.
But the drama didn't end there. Keane was waiting for Shearer in the tunnel after the match - an incident that Shearer recalled last year. He told The Athletic: "When the final whistle went, Roy was standing at the top of the stairs waiting for me. I'm pretty sure a few more choice words were exchanged, there was some bustling and scrambling, but there were way too many people between us for anything physical to actually happen. That's usually how it pans out in football.
Alex Ferguson Skipper Keane hasn't spoken to Alex Ferguson since he was forced out of Old Trafford in 2005 after a bitter fall-out with his former manager, which has since shown no signs of ending. Ferguson was left fuming with Keane after he heavily criticised his teammates in an interview with MUTV, which never aired on TV. He left the club two weeks later.
"You might say it's a different challenge at Manchester United, but I still think you're a manager and when a player gets an international call-up, you should be happy for them because it's a dream."
