Keane admits stamping on Southgate

Roy Keane has revealed he stamped on Gareth Southgate in the 1995 FA Cup semi-final because the defender "got in the way".

Southgate, then with Crystal Palace but now at Middlesbrough, is the latest figure in the game to be criticised by Keane.

Keane told The Sun: "He shouldn't be lying on the floor. Defenders shouldn't be on their backsides. I felt that he got in the way."

Asked if settling scores was part of football, Keane said: "Yeah, and there's plenty more to be settled."
