ALAN SHEARER has revealed that Roy Keane once threatened to knock him out during a match.<\/p>\n

The fiery duo regularly clashed while playing for Newcastle and Manchester United respectively during the late 1990s and early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Things nearly boiled over during one match in particular, when Shearer claims Keane wanted to settle things with fists.<\/p>\n

Appearing on The Rest is Football podcast, the former England captain was asked by host Gary Lineker what the strangest thing anyone ever said to him on the pitch was.<\/p>\n

Shearer, 53, replied: "Roy Keane once said that he was going to knock me out."<\/p>\n

Lineker, 62, wryly responded: "You do surprise me, and did he?"<\/p>\n

To which Shearer laughed and replied: "Come on!"<\/p>\n

Lineker then called for Shearer and Keane to settle their differences in the present day, saying: "I think I\u2019d back you against him, Al. Even now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that people would pay to see that. You get all of these celebrity fights now \u2013 get the two of you in UFC gloves or boxing gloves\u2026"<\/p>\n

Dampening fans' hopes, however, Shearer hit back: "I wouldn\u2019t. I\u2019m too old for that s***, Gaz!"<\/p>\n

Micah Richards also answered Lineker's question, admitting: "The only encounters I had were with Ashley Williams and Clint Dempsey."<\/p>\n

The former Manchester City star went head-to-head with Dempsey during a match.<\/p>\n

Recently appearing on CBS Sports, the duo recounted their spat before hilariously recreating their head-to-head fracas in front of stunned host Kate Abdo.<\/p>\n

Delving deeper into what happened with Dempsey that day, he told Lineker and Shearer: "Back in the day, he was at Fulham and I was at Man City.<\/p>\n

"He was playing sort of left-wing and I was at right-back and I was quite small then, but I had a great leap and I kept winning the ball over him.<\/p>\n

"He was just getting frustrated and one of the times I won the ball and he shrugged me like \u2018what are you doing\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo me being from Chapeltown, I wasn\u2019t having that \u2013 there was no chance I was having that! I said f*** off and it went back and forth and then he turned to me and said: \u201cYou don\u2019t know where I\u2019m from, dawg!<\/p>\n

\u201cI just thought, \u2018what are you even on about\u2019. It keeps bubbling on because you think \u2018next time I see him he\u2019s getting it\u2019 but around that time people did a bit of research and found that he\u2019s a pretend rapper.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo the next time I see him, I said \u2018f*** me, you can\u2019t even rap\u2019 and I just laid into him, saying: \u2018who do you think you are,\u00a0Eminem?\u2019 I was singing Slim Shady throughout the whole game!"<\/p>\n
