From SkySports:
A front-bench politician has called for the police to prosecute Roy Keane for assault for his horror tackle on Manchester City's Alf Inge Haaland.
The Liberal Democrats spokesman on sport, Bob Russell, believes Keane's controversial lunge was a crime because it was a premeditated attempt to harm Haaland.
And Colchester MP Russell has written to Greater Manchester Police calling for them to act on the April 2001 incident.
Russell stated Keane's "'violent tackle was premeditated and was, therefore, a deliberate assault".
The letter goes on to state: "Acts of assault, whether in the workplace or at entrances to nightclubs, hould not be viewed differently simply because one occurred during a football match while another was at a drinking venue.
"When is football going to realise that it cannot be above the law of the land that relates to everyone else?
"I am inviting the chief constable to regard the written admission of assault by Roy Keane as seriously as any other assault at any other location and to view my letter as a formal report of a crime," said the letter quoted in The Observer.
Keane could also be the subject of an FA charge once his book is published this week.
fecking politician trying to make a name for himself!
Keane should never have put this in the book.
