Joe Hart and the Celtic past and present bond as former team-mate reveals Fabio Capello's massive insult

Playing for Celtic is one thing Joe Hart and Fraser Forster have in common but there was a previous connection between the pair - LAUGHING at Fabio Capello.

The two England internationals have both impressed at Parkhead, with the former joining up in the summer as Vasilis Barkas continued to struggle.

The pair once competed for a starting shirt for the Three Lions, along with former Manchester United man Ben Foster.

All three were involved under legendary Italian boss Fabio Capello, who won trophies galore with the likes of Milan, Roma, Juventus and Real Madrid.

The famously stern coach isn't known for cracking jokes, but Foster revealed on his podcast that the trio would regularly be left cracking up by Capello's strange issue with Hart.

Foster said: "At the time Joe Hart was the goalkeeper and he had this massive problem with Joe.

"He used to say that his bum was too big. It was mad.

"If ever you see Joe Hart, he is shredded, he's ripped.

"He always used to come up behind him, and didn't even call him the right name, he used to call him John.

"He would always go 'John' and would look at his a*** and do this thing with his hands as if to say your a*** is too big and then he would walk off.

"Then Joe would go 'My name is Joe', like having a laugh. We would start p***ing ourselves laughing, me, Joe and Fraser Forster."
