Famous football outbursts

ARSENAL captain William Gallas has risked the wrath of his teammates by claiming they are “not brave enough in battle”.

But he is not the first player to get involved in a spat with his teammates.

Roy Keane, November 2005: Hardly regarded as the most diplomatic figure at Manchester United during his time at the club, Keane reserved one of his most stinging attacks for Rio Ferdinand following United’s defeat at Middlesbrough. Ferdinand had just signed a lucrative four-year contract at the club, but Keane cut the defender down to size in an interview which had to be pulled from the club’s TV channel, MUTV. “Just because you’re paid £120,000-a-week and do well for 20 minutes against Spurs, you think you’re a superstar,” Keane reportedly said.
