Roy Keane says he would have been 'embarrassed' to do something John Terry did in Chelsea's finest hour

John Terry's decision to wear his full Chelsea kit after their Champions League win in 2012, despite missing out on the final against Bayern Munich, is still spoken about to this day.

Ater he was handed a straight red card for a foul on Alexis Sanchez in their semi-final clash with Barcelona, Terry was suspended for the showpiece event at the Allianz Arena.

But that didn't stop him from wearing a full kit during the post-match celebrations – a moment that even brought ridicule from his former teammates, including John Obi Mikel.

“We were like, 'what are you doing on the pitch?'” Mikel laughed. “He had the full kit, shin pads, everything on."

Mikel was also asked if he would have done the same in Terry’s position. “No I think I would have just done the shirt, not the shorts," he added. "That was really hilarious.”

Another person who has now touched on the subject is Roy Keane, who missed out on Manchester United's famous Champions League win in 1999 after picking up a yellow card in the second leg of their semi-final against Juventus.

Speaking about that suspension in the most recent episode of Stick to Football – a podcast brought to you by Sky Bet - Keane said he would have been "embarrassed" to lift the Champions League trophy.

"No, I don’t agree with that," he nodded. "I’m not against other people doing it, but at the time I would have been really embarrassed, cringing to be honest.

"We went down at the end, me and Scholesy [Paul Scholes], but that was late into it and even then, I was thinking, ‘really,’ cringing.”

Phil Neville once said Keane missing the Champions League final through suspension was one of the saddest moments he experienced in football.

"I’d say that was one of my saddest moments really," he said in an interview with beIN Sports.

"Roy Keane, the captain, the best captain I ever played under and my best friend, didn’t have the opportunity to play in that game

"Scholesy did play in Moscow a couple of years later so he got his reward. For Roy, I always think of it as one of my saddest moments in football that he didn’t have the opportunity to lift the cup."

Neville added: "He was our captain, our leader, someone learned so much from. For him not to be on that pitch in Barcelona was something I felt really sad for him, but that’s football I suppose."
