Retired footballer Phil Jones has opened up on the one occasion he lost his temper in a dressing room, and the incident left the former Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United defender seething
Former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers star Phil Jones has opened up about the only time he "completely lost it" in a dressing room.
However, Jones' Anfield swan song didn't pan out as planned, and he was substituted at half-time with the Red Devils trailing by two goals. Jones - who was just 19 when he left Ewood Park for Manchester in 2011 - is usually known for his cool demeanour but refused to take this particular snub without resistance.
"Raging. That he humiliated me. Humiliated me in front of an Anfield crowd first and foremost, fearsome rivals, and the fans and my family and the players. We were 2-0 down at half-time, weren't great, I don't think we had a shot on target first half. Nothing was coming off. And I'd actually done alright in the game."
"I took my boots off and I slammed them on the floor and I said, 'you're taking the f****** p*** out of me,'" he continued. "Everyone said, 'calm down, calm down.' I get irate now, it really got to me."
