A 43-year-old man has denied assaulting former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane. Scott Law, of Waltham Abbey, Essex, pleaded not guilty to a charge of common assault when he appeared at Highbury Magistrates' Court on Thursday.
The assault by beating charge relates to an incident at Emirates Stadium on September 3 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. Keane was allegedly headbutted following the football match.
Law is to face a two-day trial at the same court on May 29-30. He was released on unconditional bail until his trial.
