In court today on a 'road rage' trial:
Quote:
Ex-Manchester United captain Roy Keane made a two-finger gesture and shouted aggressively after a taxi driver told him to smile, a court heard.
The 43-year-old is said to have "stared aggressively" after Fateh Kerar, 44, made a "smile" gesture and drove off.
Manchester Magistrates Court heard Mr Keane followed him, catching up with him near traffic lights in Ashley Road, Altrincham on 30 January.
Mr Keane has pleaded not guilty to a public order offence.
He denies giving a 'V' sign to Mr Kerar before getting out of his vehicle and shouting and waving his arms about.
'Staring in face'
The court heard he got back in his car and drove off afterwards.
The Republic of Ireland assistant manager is accused of causing harassment, alarm or distress to Mr Kerar.
Mr Kerar, giving evidence from behind a screen, told the court he had pulled over at a bank to allow his passenger to get cash.
As he did, he noticed Mr Keane in his car across the road, recognising him from his days at Manchester United, adding: "I love Roy Keane and I love football."
He said: "When I parked my car I looked to the left and it was Roy Keane parked in his car. I looked at him, he looked at me. He kept staring at me in my face.
"He was looking at me very aggressively , saying something in his car. I couldn't hear him. He was giving me bad looks."
The trial continues.

He told the court that Keane opened his door and was directing his anger at him.
'He jumped from his car and he was swearing aggressive. I could hear from him his Irish accent. He was very mad. He was swearing, mad and he lost his temper. He was very aggressive. He put his finger to me like that (gestured V sign)
'He was of course 'f******' and 'f******'. I'm not going to say what he said. He was swearing, you f****** this you f*** that. I'm not sure exactly what he was saying. I said to him to go back to his car. He was mad and aggressive. He was swearing at me. I can't remember what he was saying.'
He added that people were staring and he told Keane, 'just get back to your car'.
'I heard him say, 'what's wrong with you' in an Irish accent.'
'I could see everybody looking at me. I stopped outside the station, I was shaking, I said to the lady, 'look at me I'm shaking'.'
He told the court that he then went to Altrincham Police Station.

Embarrasing this has even got to court tbh. Shouting at someone ffs. The bloke who went to the police station afterwards is a @#%&!, no question o' that, and just wants the publicity.
Sad state of affairs when you can no longer engage in a spot of road rage.
