Keane recalls headbutt incident with ex-Man Utd teammate Schmeichel

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has revealed a furious bust-up he had with former teammate Peter Schmeichel in his new book.

The Aston Villa coach's book will be launched this week.

In his autobiography, The Second Half, Keane revealed "I had a bust-up with Peter when we were on a pre-season tour of Asia, in 1998, just after I came back from my cruciate injury. I think we were in Hong Kong. There was drink involved."

Keane went on to suggest United legend Sir Bobby Charlton could have stopped the fight - and that Schmeichel attended a press conference wearing sunglasses, putting his black eye down to a training pitch collision.
