Nottingham Forest favourite had 'full-blown' argument that Steven Gerrard found hilarious

Former England striker Darren Bent has recalled a 'full-blown' argument he once had with Nottingham Forest favourite Andy Reid.

The duo were playing for Sunderland in the Premier League at the same and exchanged bitter words on the pitch during a match against Liverpool.

Bent also recalled then-Liverpool skipper Gerrard running by and laughing at the pair, who were arguing about Reid refusing to pass Bent the ball.

“Yes, a proper one with Andy Reid," Bent said on talkSPORT when asked if he'd had an argument on the pitch. "We were full-blown swearing at each other on the pitch.

“He kept shooting and was screaming at him to pass me the ball. I remember it was against Liverpool and Steven Gerrard came running past me laughing his head off.

“I was livid, absolutely livid. When you get back in the dressing room it settles down but on the pitch, I wasn’t happy.”
