'I didn't like him': Alan Shearer admits he had issues with Roy Keane when they were both players as ex-striker reveals how he did him like a 'kipper' to get him sent off before Manchester United legend waited in tunnel for him

Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has revealed the animosity he had for Roy Keane when the pair were both at the peak of their playing powers.

Former Manchester United skipper Keane, who won seven Premier League titles with the club, had plenty of altercations with ex-Newcastle striker Shearer down the years.

But one bust-up particularly stands out from September 2001, when Newcastle were beating United 4-3 at St James' Park.

With time running out, Shearer was purposely teasing Keane, before his United counterpart hit out by throwing a punch at his opponent - narrowly missing but it resulted in a red card.
