"The duo had an infamous bust-up at St James' Park back in 2001, as Newcastle skipper Shearer ducked away from a swipe directed at him by United captain Keane in a heated exchange. Keane was sent off in that incident and he has never been complimentary towards Shearer since then, with his comments in the latest Stick To Football podcast confirming his disdain for his former rival has not waned."
""Shearer was sneaky, sneaky elbows. I didn't admire people who were nasty, I don't like nasty people," he said last week. Now Shearer has given his response, as he was asked to comment by host Gary Lineker in the latest The Rest Is Football podcast. "It's amazing what rival pods will do to try and get a bit of PR," said Lineker with a smile. Shearer then replied: "Someone sent me that the other day, and then Micah [Richards] sent me it and Wrighty [Ian Wright] and we had a laugh. I mean, really, come on.""
"Lineker went on to chuckle as he claimed Shearer is "living in his head", with the Newcastle legend offering this final comment on Keane: "Sneaky and nasty... I mean, some of the tackles, come on." Lineker then added: "Pot, kettle, black, and that kind of stuff." Shearer previously suggested he was not a fan of Keane, as he offered up his opinions on their clash in 2001 in an interview with the BBC."
Roy Keane described Alan Shearer as "sneaky" and "nasty" in relation to their 2001 St James' Park confrontation, during which Keane was sent off. Keane's remarks resurfaced via a podcast and prompted reaction from Shearer when Gary Lineker asked him about the comments. Shearer reacted with amusement, saying teammates sent him the clip and they had a laugh, and he questioned the PR motive behind rival podcasts. Lineker joked that Shearer was "living in his head," and Shearer reiterated his view that some of Keane's tackles were questionable. Shearer previously said he did not like Keane and recalled multiple run-ins.
