Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira have broken down exactly how their infamous 2005 Highbury tunnel bust-up came about.
Brought together as ITV pundits for their Euro 2020 coverage, the two midfield titans were the best of rivals in the early 2000's but ironically now find themselves on the same team.
And with the help of Gary Neville, the two were able to give fans an exact insight into the events that led to the much remembered moment.
Annoyed over fouls committed by Neville in previous fixtures, Arsenal skipper Vieira says he attempted to follow and confront the full back in the Highbury tunnel after the warm-up.
And as Neville told fellow Irishman Denis Irwin about Vieira's displeasure, United captain Keane got wind of the situation, and after hilariously forgetting to put on his captain's armband before meeting in the tunnel before the game, he let his feeling's known.
With Vieira describing the incident as Keane losing his temper, the Ireland legend said he viewed it at the time as the Frenchman attempting to intimidate Neville.
And as the world watched a foul-mouthed Keane confront Vieira before the game, the two look to have buried the hatchet as they agreed that the competitive nature of playing is something they miss.
In a previous interview, Keane praised Vieira as one of the 'toughest' opponents he's ever come across.
He said: “I always felt I was going to war with these boys anyway so I’d be feeling the aches and pains before the match, I wouldn’t mind afterwards, but that’s what you play the game for.
“Patrick would have been (my toughest opponent) at the time. As I said Patrick would challenge you in different ways, he could get around the pitch, he was good with the ball, he was strong, he had a goal in him.”
“I knew I would have to be at my very very best to be on top of Patrick.”
He added: "If you can win your midfield battles it does give you a great chance of winning football matches but there was also a respect towards Patrick because I knew I had to be at my best.
“It was the same with other lads coming through, your Gerrards and you Lampards, you knew you had to be at your best.”
