Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer admits his former adversary Roy Keane is 'box office' as a pundit. The pair famously clashed on the pitch, with the Magpies' No 9 goading in a confrontation which led to the Manchester United captain being shown a red card at St James' Park in September 2001.
Shearer later described how Keane was 'waiting' to settle the score after the full-time whistle of Newcastle's 4-3 win, but the second round of the row did not develop beyond a few 'choice words' being exchanged. More than two decades on, the personal rivalry remains between the pair, with Keane admitting last year that their 'beef' made working together impossible.
Shearer was handed the dubious task of ranking many of his colleagues along with Micah Richards on the latest series of the BBC's Match of the Day Top 10 series. The duo were asked to assess their favourites in a list which included the likes of Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville from Sky Sports, alongside former pundits such as Alan Hansen and the late Jimmy Hill.
