A 43-year-old man has denied assaulting former Manchester United and Ireland midfielder Roy Keane who was allegedly headbutted at a football match.
Scott Law, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, pleaded not guilty to a charge of common assault when he appeared at Highbury Magistrates’ Court in London on Thursday.
The assault by beating charge relates to an incident at Emirates Stadium, also in London, on September 3rd last year, following Arsenal’s 3-1 victory over Manchester United, where Keane was working as a pundit.
Footage was posted on social media of fellow Sky Sports pundit Micah Richards stepping in to calm an apparent confrontation.
