Roy Keane provided plenty of comedy in front of a live audience at the Manchester Apollo for the latest episode of The Overlap.
The Manchester United legend had the 2,700-strong crowd in stitches at various points, including after one particularly funny dig at Jamie Carragher and Liverpool.
The audience were shown a clip of Keane and Carragher’s heated row over Cristiano Ronaldo back in November.
“Brilliant,” Keane said. “Obviously Jamie was wrong. It is about winning cups for United at the moment.”
Keane said: “[United] are still in the Champions League. You never know…”
When Carragher burst out laughing, Keane had the perfect response: “We’ve seen a lot worse teams than Man United win the Champions League…”
The Irishman, with perfect comic timing, then turned and stared at Carragher, who was left cracking up along with the audience.
The crowd responded by chanting: “Keano! Keano!”
Watch the funny clip here:
Keane was obviously referring to Liverpool’s victory over AC Milan in the 2005 Champions League final in Istanbul.
Carragher and his teammates were 3-0 down at half-time after being outclassed at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium but three goals in six extraordinary second-half minutes put the Reds back on level terms.
The Premier League side eventually won the match on penalties after Jerzy Dudek saved from Andriy Shevchenko.
“I always say this,” Carragher said later in the show, “take six minutes out of the 120 – so for 114 minutes – AC Milan gave one of the best performances you’ll ever see in a European Cup final. I’m just very lucky that I’ve got that medal and played in a famous game because some of the players that haven’t got that medal are some of the greatest players that have ever played the game.
“You need a little bit of luck and to be in the right place at the right time, and I was that night so I’m a very lucky boy.”
Keane got the biggest cheers of the night from the audience inside the Manchester Apollo but Carragher and Gary Neville, who has done such a fantastic job with The Overlap, were also great value on the night.
It’s well worth a watch if you haven’t already seen it and hopefully we’ll see the three of them back on stage again very soon.
