Roy Keane was waiting at the top of the tunnel for Alan Shearer - and the former England striker knew he would be.
The Cork native had been sent off just seconds earlier after being 'done like a kipper' by Shearer in the closing stages of Newcastle's 4-3 win against Manchester United, and Keane was still raging as his opposite number climbed the stairs on the way to the dressing room.
If Shearer and Keane had got their way, these captains would have had it out in the tunnel there and then. There was not a camera in sight as insults were exchanged and voices were raised, and Warren Barton was among those who soon found himself caught in the thick of it, reports Chronicle Live.
