Roy Keane told Man Utd star ‘f*** off back to London’ after jumping into middle of feud between ’99 treble winners
ROY KEANE jumped into an infamous Manchester United feud and had a heated spat with a fellow legend.
Treble winners Teddy Sheringham and Andy Cole fell out in 1995 during an international friendly between England and Uruguay at Wembley.
It all started when Sheringham, who then played for Tottenham, blanked Cole during his international debut as he came on as the former’s substitution.
The two strikers became United team-mates two years later when the Spurs legend moved to Old Trafford, but things didn’t get much better.
Sheringham said: “Like any workplace, there’s people you do like and there’s people you don’t like.
“Me and Colely just didn’t rub each other up the right way from the word go.”
Tensions hit boiling point during Sheringham’s debut season at a match that saw United conceding a reckless goal.
The West Ham great blamed Cole and that led to a fiery confrontation in the dressing room.
However, it wasn’t just the two strikers who got at it as Keane turned it into a triple threat match.
Cole said: “Teddy joined Manchester United, that season I remember conceding a goal.

“He turned around to me and said, ‘That was your fault’. My head was absolutely steaming then.
“I got into the dressing room and I lunged at him, I was just about to throw a punch. By the time I realised, Roy was trying to fight him.”
Keane was furious with Sheringham and launched an expletive-laden tirade at him.
Soon after the two men got at each other’s throats and were separated by their team-mates.
Keane didn’t speak to Sheringham for “three-and-a-half years” after the scrap.
Sheringham said: “We had a fall out, Keaney turned around said, ‘Why don’t you f**k off back to London with your f*****g Ferrari and your penthouse?’
“And he turned around and grabbed my tie and everyone jumped in and stopped it, saying: ‘What’s happening, what’s happening?’
“He didn’t say a word to me. He didn’t say a word to me for the next three-and-a-half years.”
Thankfully Sheringham and Cole finally buried the hatchet in 2018 and joined some of their legendary team-mates on the red carpet to celebrate the release of the Amazon Prime documentary 99.
