Roy Keane hilariously ate a prawn sandwich in a TikTok video, with the former Manchester United hardman notoriously coining the ‘prawn sandwich brigade’ phrase during his playing career.<\/p>\n
Keane, 52, is regularly seen lambasting United and other teams on Sky Sports, but the Irishman was a tough-tackling midfielder for the Red Devils, while he also represented Nottingham Forest, Celtic and Cobh Ramblers.<\/p>\n
He spent 12 years at Old Trafford, making 480 appearances but famously fell out with Sir Alex Ferguson which culminated in his departure.<\/p>\n
However, following a narrow 1-0 victory over Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League in November 2000, Keane slated United fans which led to the ‘prawn sandwich brigade’ saying being born.<\/p>\n
He had said: ‘Away from home our fans are fantastic, I’d call them the hardcore fans.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Roy Keane enjoyed a prawn sandwich when he went out for lunch with fellow pundit Ian Wright<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keane coined the infamous ‘prawn sandwich brigade’ phrase with a rant at Man United fans<\/p>\n
steak & ale pie, prawn sandwich, syrup sponge & custard and a Manchester tart \ud83d\ude0b\ud83e\udd24\ud83d\ude0e Thank you<\/p>\n
‘But at home they have a few drinks and probably the prawn sandwiches, and they don’t realise what’s going on out on the pitch.’<\/p>\n
It is effectively a derogatory term for those fans who are at matches to enjoy hospitality and corporate opportunities rather than coming to enjoy the football or support a team.<\/p>\n
And in the aforementioned TikTok video – which was shared by Ian Wright – the pair could be seen enjoying lunch out together.<\/p>\n
While Wright ate a steak & ale pie, Keane tucked into a prawn sandwich, before enjoying a Manchester tart for dessert.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pundit jokingly said to a waiter: ‘There’s no calories in this is there?’, while Wright tucked into a syrup sponge with custard in the background.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Keane looked admiringly in the direction of Wright’s dessert before he added: ‘That looks nice that. Is that custard you’ve got there?’.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Keane was a tough-tackling midfielder who made 480 appearances across 12 years for United<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the club’s kit launch in the summer, Keane again made light of his ‘prawn sandwich’ rant<\/p>\n

The pair then agreed that they would cook something together one day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It’s not the first time Keane has played on his famous ‘prawn sandwich’ phrase, with the 52-year-old utilising it when he helped launched the Red Devils’ new kit in the summer.<\/p>\n
Many were surprised to see the former midfielder included in the launch given his acrimonious departure from the club.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the end of the kit launch video saw Keane look down at a plate full of prawn sandwiches, before shaking his head in disapproval.\u00a0<\/p>\n
