"Have you entered a studio, been introduced to the other pundits and then thought, 'it might pop off here,' based on beef from your playing days?""Yeah, a few times. Most weeks really!" Keane joked. "No, there’s one or two I've done games with where it was... We couldn’t get over that hurdle of what happened in the past.” After being encouraged to name names by the live audience, Keane eventually revealed the identity of the pundit. "Shearer... Forget it," he said.
The presenter then suggested that Keane and Shearer could settle their differences in a celebrity boxing match.
Neville joked that the former England captain would beat Keane in the bout.
The Irishman, who was an amateur boxer in his younger years, agreed that he would probably lose the bout, as he is older than Shearer.
(The former Newcastle striker, however, is a year older than Keane).
It appears that the tension between the former rivals remains, even in the more relaxed environment of a TV studio.
You can watch the Overlap Live below, with the section about Shearer and Keane beginning at around the 34-minute mark.
