Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Jason McAteer has opened up on his intense rivalry with Roy Keane and claims he would go into games wanting to 'smash' his international team-mate.
The former Liverpool, Blackburn and Bolton player has revealed there was no love lost between the pair, who clashed numerous times on the pitch during top-flight games.
Keane, a highly controversial figure who was a no-nonsense type midfielder during his playing career and is now just as brutal in the TV studio, was often at the centre of fierce rivalries, including with Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira.
