A man has been found guilty of assaulting former Manchester United captain Roy Keane in what has been described as a "gratuitous and senseless act of violence".The ex-Ireland skipper told the Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court he was "absolutely not expecting it".
“When anyone attends a football match, either to work or to support a team, they should be able to feel safe and secure in that environment.”Law had claimed to the court that Keane told him to "meet him outside" after "banter turned more aggressive".However, Law’s defence team alleged that CCTV footage shown in court displayed Keane elbowing the defendant in the face.
The 35-year-old denied accusations from Law's defence barrister that he had claimed to see the headbutt because he was "Roy's mate".
