A scene from both players encounter was a famous tunnel spat before a match. Both players also always had to clash on the field of play.

Speaking during his induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame, Wenger expressed delight that both men are now friends.

“Roy Keane was a top player, but a very aggressive one. But Vieira, you cannot intimidate him.
