England and Tottenham Hotspur legend Paul Gascoigne has revealed how he became Roy Keane's 'worst nightmare' when the pair faced off in the early 90's.
As the Corkman began making a name for himself at Nottingham Forest, Keane crossed paths with the iconic midfielder when his club faced Tottenham Hotspur.
And speaking about Keane, 'Gazza' has revealed that he'd go out of his way to get into the head of the Boys in Green great.
Gascoigne opened up about constantly trying to talk to Keane and insult him, leading to Keane saying afterwards that he was glad when the referee blew the full-time whistle.
“I remember Roy Keane once, I just used to talk to him all the time,” Gascoigne revealed on Anything Goes With James English on Yotube.
“I remember going down the tunnel and I said: ‘Roy, you reckon you’re the new kid on the block? Welcome to your worst nightmare.’
“We won one-nil but he said afterwards in the papers: ‘Thank God that game is over with, I’ve never been talked to so much in my life.’
“I used to say: ‘I’m sleeping with your wife.’”
In another interview, hee added: “Years ago, when I played against Roy Keane, they were saying he was the new kid on the block. In the tunnel, I went to Keane, ‘Welcome to your worst nightmare’.
“I talked to him for 90 minutes. I was saying, ‘I’m going out with ya wife’. He said, ‘I’m not married’. I said, ‘Aye, she’s there in the stands’. He’d look up and I’d just go off with the ball.
“He went to the newspapers afterwards, ‘Thank God that game’s over, I’ve never been talked to so much in my life’. I’d talk and talk and talk. ‘How are you doing? Where you from? What you doing tonight? What you doing tomorrow?’
“One guy came face to face for an argument, so I grabbed him and gave him the biggest kiss. That ruined the rest of his game. The fans were laughing at him.”
