Roy Keane Launches Phone Across the Room During Overlap Podcast

Roy Keane didn't hold back as he threw his phone across the room while filming an upcoming episode of the Overlap podcast.

Throughout his highly-successful playing career, Manchester United legend Keane developed a reputation for losing his temper.

In perhaps the most infamous incident of his career, Keane's anger got the better of him, leading to him committing a horror tackle on Alf-Inge Haaland in 2001, essentially putting an end to the Norwegian's career.

Since retiring as a player back in 2006, Keane has maintained this reputation, becoming a massively popular pundit breaking down the current game often in brutal and hilarious rants.

And in a clip from an upcoming episode of The Overlap podcast, he didn't disappoint as one incident left him so angry that he threw his mobile phone across the room.

In the next episode of The Overlap, co-hosts Keane, Wayne Rooney, Gary Neville, Ian Wright and Jamie Carragher welcome fellow Premier League legend Ashley Cole to the podcast.

However, things didn't go exactly to plan as while Cole reflected on his career, Keane's phone started to ring leading to raucous celebrations from his fellow podcast hosts.

"The ill-discipline!" former team-mate Neville gleefully shouted as a clearly embarrassed Keane took the phone out of his pocket to silence it.

Wright, completely shocked, joked: "If that was anyone else!"

While Carragher pleaded with the United legend to reveal who it was that had been ringing him while he was filming the podcast.

With Rooney ironically pointing out: ""And he [Cole] was just saying them older players are so important to learn from!"

A mortified Keane threw his phone to the other side of the room, before adding: "My phone is always off. I'm raging with that. My phone is always on silent."

Neville then recalled a story from Keane's time as manager of Ipswich Town when a phone went off in the middle of a press conference.

Furious, the Irishman scolded the reporter for his poor manners as the phone continued to ring, interrupting the press conference for the second time.

Speaking about the incident, Keane added: "I done an Ipswich game last year for Sky. The guy whose phone was ringing came over and apologised.

"A reporter came looking for me and I asked him. I said, 'well why didn't you switch it off? All them years ago?' He said 'I was nervous. I didn't know what to do'. But he apologised for that and I apologise for that."
