Former Sunderland defender Anton Ferdinand claims ex-boss Roy Keane once told him "you don’t have a pair of balls" during a half-time team talk that sparked a comeback win. The former Black Cats boss, who was linked with a sensational return to the club earlier this year, is not afraid to speak his mind.
Ferdinand claims his former boss went off it with the Wearsiders trailing 1-0 at Blackburn Rovers back in November 2008. Speaking on the Broadtalks Podcast, Ferdinand said: “We went in 1-0 down and Kenwyne [Jones] got outjumped just before half time. We got in the dressing-room and Roy Keane was just going proper off it. He was doing more than pointing fingers.
“I don’t mind that - I grew up with it. If I’ve done something wrong then my mum and dad told me that I’d done something wrong. Then, all of a sudden, he said something about the backline and I was like ‘I don’t agree.'
