Gary Lineker suggested a 'celebrity fight' between former Man Utd midfielder Roy Keane and Newcastle legend Alan Shearer.
Alan Shearer has given his honest thoughts on a potential celebrity boxing fight between him and former Manchester United captain Roy Keane .In fact, the Premier League 's all-time top goalscorer said he "didn't like" the United midfielder when they both played, and once referred back to a clash in September 2001 when the Irishman was sent off for throwing a punch at"I had loads of rucks with him and I wasn't the only one.
"It was about three of four minutes before the end of the game. I can't remember exactly what I said, I called him some sort of name." After hearing about Keane's no-nonsense threat, Lineker replied: “You do surprise me, and did he?" before Shearer laughed, saying: “Come on!”Lineker added: “I think I’d back you against him, Al. Even now. I think that people would pay to see that. You get all of these celebrity fights now – get the two of you in UFC gloves or boxing gloves."He predictably brought up that fight with former Fulham forward Dempsey.
“Back in the day, he was at Fulham and I was at Man City. He was playing sort of left wing and I was at right back and I was quite small then, but I had a great leap and I kept winning the ball over him.
