Scott Law, 43, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, has pleaded not guilty to a charge of common assault.
Football pundit Roy Keane told a court he was left ‘in shock’ after being allegedly ‘headbutted’ through doors during a Premier League match
The 52-year-old told Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday that the incident happened when he and fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards were walking down for the final match analysis.“There was lots of noise and shouting, as you would expect at a football match,” he said. “I was absolutely not expecting it. The only way I can describe it is that I was in shock. I didn’t expect it to happen, not when I was in my workplace.”On this, Mr Keane told the court: “Micah then gets hold of someone. He was just trying to get a grip of him and make sure he didn’t run off.
Law then fled the scene after Mr Richards lost his grip, the court heard, before the two pundits headed pitch-side to give their post-match analysis.He claims to have suffered bruising on his chest and arms as a result of the incident.A video played to the court showed Law, an Arsenal fan, turning to the Sky Sports broadcast box after VAR ruled out a goal for Manchester United.
