Arsenal,Guilty,Man Utd

The incident happened at the Emirates Stadium after Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United on 3 September last year.

A 43-YEAR-OLD MAN has been found guilty of headbutting Roy Keane at a football match.

Law’s defence team said CCTV footage from inside the stadium, shown in court, displayed former Manchester United player Keane elbowing the defendant in the face.Giving evidence to the court, former Manchester City defender Richards denied accusations by Law’s defence barrister that he had claimed to see the headbutt because he was “Roy’s mate” and had become the ex-Ireland international’s “puppy” and “stooge”.

He told the court: “Mr Keane was puffing his cheeks out. He was right up against the glass. He was banging on the window. Prosecutor Simon Jones KC asked Law: “Are you seriously saying that Roy Keane ran into the top of your head?”
