'He only kicked the little ones' - Liverpool legend says Roy Keane never came after him on the pitch. PIC: Sportsfile
Former Liverpool, Spurs and West Ham defender Neil "Razor" Ruddock was a guest on the The 2 Johnnies latest podcast and had a few comments to make on Irish legend Roy Keane.
The one-cap England player, who was renowned for his tough style of play on the football field, spoke about Irish players he would've played with and against during his professional career.
Ex-Republic of Ireland internationals Paul McGrath and Tony Cascarino got mentions before Roy Keane was brought up in conversation.
"He was a bully but he was a great player and captain," stated Ruddock.
In response to a question asking if was Keane a "trash talker" on the pitch, he said: "I was too big for him so he used to pick on wingers - he only kicked the little ones!"
Ruddock added: "I love him [Keane] on telly now", as he complimented the former Manchester United captain's punditry on Sky Sports.
The full episode can be listened to on The 2 Johnnies Podcast on Spotify.
