Roy: I was shocked by attack

FORMER Manchester United captain Roy Keane has said he was left in shock after being allegedly headbutted through doors during a Premier League football match.

The 52-year-old told Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court in London yesterday that the incident happened when he and fellow Sky Sports pundit, and ex-Manchester City player, Micah Richards were walking down for the final match analysis, following Arsenal's 3-1 victory over United at Emirates Stadium on September 3 last year.

Mr Keane told the court: "There was lots of noise and shouting, as you would expect. I was just walking and, before I knew it, I was hit. I felt the contact and fell back through some doors.
