Roy Keane shook hands with Ricky Gervais on a recent podcast after the comedian started a debate on what he wants banned from existence.
Gervais, who is best known for creating shows like The Office, An Idiot Abroad and After Life, appeared on Thursday's episode of Stick To Football with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Jill Scott and Ian Wright.
He was also joined by former Manchester United captain Roy Keane, who recently criticised his noisy neighbours over using a leaf blower in the early hours.

In fact, Keane believes it should be illegal to use them before 8am. "I took my dog out this morning at 7:15 and where I live and someone is on the blower with the leaves at quarter past seven in the morning," Keane said.
"It's a disgrace. I think it should be banned. I was gonna go over and say 'people are in bed!' You're not allowed to use them. It's 8 o'clock."
Just weeks after Keane's outburst and Gervais happened to bring up his hatred of leaf blowers, which brought a rare handshake from the former Republic of Ireland international.

Here's how the conversation played out on the latest episode of Stick To Football, brought to you by Sky Bet.
Gervais: "I want to ban leaf blowers. Why have they got leaf blowers? What are they doing? They're blowing leaves into the street. Well... they are going to blow back!"
Keane: *shakes hand*
Jill Scott: "The last episode, he spoke about leaf blowers for about half an hour."

Gervais: "Honestly I want to go to the council and ask them to ban leaf blowers. It's bad for the environment. It's noisy. It's pointless."
Keane: "The bit that annoys me is, one [person] does it, and he blows the leaves down there... and then the other guy, he's a gardener, blows them f*****g back to where they were. They just keep doing it every day."
Gervais: "What's up with a rake and putting it in a bag? Or get a vacuum."

After his appearance on the podcast, Gervais joked about Keane's recent confrontation with an Ipswich Town fan.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, the comedian wrote: "I’m just glad Roy didn’t want to chat to me in the car park."
In the aftermath of Sunday's Premier League clash between Manchester United and Ipswich, a furious Keane was spotted confronting a supporter during an ad break.
Footage soon emerged of the heated incident, where Keane can be heard telling the supporter: "I’ll wait for you in the car park and we can discuss it."
