The two men were two of the fiercest rivals the Premier League has ever seen, which should make next week’s documentary a must-see for sports fans.
Keane & Vieira: Best of Enemies will air on ITV4 next Tuesday night at 10pm and not only will it pour over the intense rivalry between the two hard-hitting midfielders, it is a reminder of perhaps the biggest rivalry the Premier League has seen since its formation in 1992.
Wenger/Fergie, Van Nistelrooy/Keown, Cole/Ronaldo were all integral features of the games that were often title deciders, though no two men influenced their team-mates and the supporters quite like the Irishman and Frenchman in the middle of the pitch.
“I always thought I was tougher than him,” Keane utters in the promo, and we wouldn’t disagree with him on that count.
As we said, we’re eagerly looking forward to next Tuesday.
