Arsenal legend Ian Wright walked off the Stick to Football after being irritated by remarks made by Roy Keane on the latest episode.

Wright and Keane are a regular duo on our screens, whether it be on Gary Neville's podcast or for coverage of England or FA Cup games with ITV.

The pair of close friends like an argument and have a frequent difference of opinions - with that the case once again in the early part of the YouTube show, released on Friday.

Masters and Grand Slam winner Rory McIlroy was a guest on the show for the second time, which was filmed hours before he was named BBC Sports Personality of the Year for the first time.

Before his arrival, Keane wound up Wright with some comments about golf, putting the sport down as he expressed disbelief over shots from closer distances getting cheered.

"I don’t play golf but it looks easy," Keane said at the start of the show prior to McIlroy coming in.

"I have to say. You just get it in the hole.”

Wright, an avid golfer, said he was not going to respond and commented, “You know what I am not going into it with you" - turning away in disgust.

Keane kept going though, adding: “The best players in the world. The hole is there and I am here. I am one of the best in the world and I get it in the hole and everybody applauds it.

“You are just putting it in the hole. I am 100 per cent serious. It's like when you get a tap in at Yeovil.

That sent Wright over the edge and he got up from his seat, appearing to say he was going to the toilet and walking away.

The discussion around the table continued involving Neville, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott before Wright returned with a beaming smile and talked about his exploits on the course, joking that he and McIlroy were the two golfers present.

McIlroy arrived and greeted the panel and told, Keane, “Nice to see you, good to see you as everyone else present laughed.

Rory McIlroy's peace offering to Roy Keane

The Northern Irishman discussed helping Team Europe beat the USA to win the Ryder Cup, as well as delving into some of the rules involving the iconic green jacket after winning the Masters and becoming just the sixth person to be a Grand Slam champion.

He also presented Keane with a signed yellow flag from the Masters in what he called a "peace offering". In his first appearance on Stick to Football, McIlroy revealed that Keane refused to give him an autograph when he was a youngster.

The two shook hands but Keane joked, "That spoils it!" when McIlroy said all the rest of the crew would be also be getting one.

The message from McIlroy said, "Thanks for all the great memories watching United over the years"
