Ian Wright tells Roy Keane his risque joke about Jill Scott ‘has to be cut’ from podcast – after Man United icon left Gary Neville spitting out his drink
Although he has built a reputation for his strictness, Man United legend Roy Keane left his podcast co-hosts in the lurch after telling a risqué joke in a recent episode.
The former Red Devils captain, along with Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes, were discussing a recent charity match with Jill Scott when he made the joke.
Scott talks about Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky betsaid: ‘I played a charity game this weekend and Marlon Harewood absolutely destroyed us’.
The likes of Scholes and Wright responded with comments like ‘He’s a big guy’ and ‘He was a big old thing, old Marlon’ – but Keane opted for a different answer.
With a grin on his face, the ex-United star said: ‘And how was the match?’.
The rest of his co-stars went into hysterics after the comment – seemingly suggesting that Scott had used “smash” in a different context.

After catching his breath, Arsenal legend Wright said: ‘Roy, you can’t say that! That has to go!’.
However, Scott, who also saw the funny side of Keane’s comments, said: ‘Keep that in!’.
Keane tried to backtrack on the comment and claim he was genuinely inquiring about the match, although his co-hosts didn’t believe it.
“Oh no, how was the game?” Keane asked as his co-hosts continued to laugh.
Wright then said, “It’s such a powerful image! I can’t see it anymore’ – which led to Neville spitting out his water while laughing at the joke.
When Keane eventually discovered the score of the charity match – which was 6-7 – he jokingly replied: ‘6-9!’.
Elsewhere on the podcast, Scholes claimed fans could witness ‘the beginning of the end’ for Harry Kane after the striker was dropped for England.
Kane, 31, has been criticized for his performances for the Three Lions this year, which recently led to him being left on the bench for the match against Greece.

Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins was chosen over the England captain and many fans felt the national team posed a greater threat with the 28-year-old leader.
Although Kane recently dismissed the idea that the 2026 World Cup will be his last major tournament with England, Man United legend Scholes thinks differently.
Speaking in the latest episode of Stick to Football, brought to you by Sky betScholes said: ‘It felt like the end of Harry Kane [during the international break] – the beginning of the end. He seemed out of place on the team.
‘As you get older, you have the feeling that everything around you is moving a little faster and it seemed a bit like that. But I don’t know how to replace it.’
