The former Ireland and Manchester United captain was speaking in court after Scott Law, 43, went on trial accused of attacking him at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium in North London on September 3 last year.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane has told how he was left 'in shock' after allegedly being 'headbutted in the chest' by an Arsenal fan moments after his former club's winning goal was disallowed by VAR.
Keane, who has a tense history with rivals Arsenal, had been walking from the TV studio to the pitch for the final analysis - but Law had allegedly left his seat to track him down after seeing the ex-United captain celebrate Garnacho's goal. Former Republic of Ireland and Manchester United captain Keane, 52, said he 'could not believe' he had come under attack
When beginning his testimony, Keane was asked to name his profession and paused before telling the court, 'Erm, pundit, allegedly', before adding that he also 'does some podcast stuff'. Video footage of the Arsenal home fans celebrating the VAR verdict was shown in court today - including various supporters turning towards the Sky box.
'The prosecution say the defendant was intent on violence from the outset - he takes little time in going straight up to Roy Keane where he delivered a forceful headbutt which impacted on the left upper side of the chest.Footage was posted on social media of Richards stepping in to calm an apparent confrontation.
