Roy Keane told ‘you’re so nasty’ as he makes savage jibe about Gary and Phil Neville being in the ‘Ugly XI’
ROY KEANE was labelled “so nasty” after a savage joke about Gary Neville.
Manchester United legends Keane and Neville were joined on The Overlap’s Stick to Football podcast, presented by Sky Bet, by Arsenal icon Ian Wright and ex-Lioness Jill Scott.
The fan-favourite podcast is currently being shown on ITV for Euro 2024.
And the quartet reunited in Germany, where Keane, Neville and Wright have been working on ITV’s coverage of the Euros – with the latter two going mad during England’s win over Slovakia.
On a behind-the-scenes snippet of the latest episode, a producer asked Neville, 49, if he could make a slight adjustment due to some glare on his head.
This prompted Wright to talk about the Neville’s – both Gary and Phil – head shape, quipping that former Everton star, Phil, had a “Frankenstein-y head vibe about him”.
Switching to the one-club star, Keane, Wright and Scott began waxing lyrical about Gary’s head and saying how it suits him.
The conversation eventually led to Neville recalling how his mum was left “absolutely devastated” after he and Phil were named in the Daily Star’s “Ugly XI” two years running.
Wright, 60, and Keane, 52, called the label “cruel”, though Keane could not help himself with a brutal jab just moments later.
With a cheeky smile on his face he said: “And only two years in a row?”

This caused Neville to burst into tears along with the rest of the group.
Scott, 37, hit back at Keane by saying: “You’re so nasty,” before Wright added: “He can’t help himself.”
