Roy Keane left Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Paul Scholes in stitches after making a joke about Jill Scott and ex-West Ham star Marlon Harewood.
Appearing on the Stick to Football podcast, Scott recalled playing against Harewood at a recent match.
She said the forward 'smashed us' - which is when Keane seized his opportunity.
The Manchester United star said, with his typically dry tone: "And what was the game like?"

The joke left Wright, Neville and Scholes howling with laughter - while Scott also saw the funny side.
Keane protested his innocence and asked again: "What was the game like?"
Wright, speaking to the room, then said: "It's such a powerful image!"
And that caused Neville to spit out his water, with the former England and United star unable to keep it in.

Fans on social media were left equally amused, with many quick to praise Keane for his joke.
"Roy Keane has to be hands down the most unintentionally funny pundit on the planet," were the words of one user.
A second said: "Keane needs his own show. Comedy gold."
A third stated: "You know some people would be straight on to HR for that. Top sport Jill."
Another reacted by saying: "It was so unexpected, but brilliant. The timing of it, the response, the way Jill reacted. Hats off. Phenomenal work. Had me laughing out loud unexpectedly."
And a fifth said: "Good banter how it should be and Roy's just a legend, we were all thinking it."
Meanwhile, on the episode, the pundits discussed Harry Kane.
The England star has faced scrutiny for his international performances in 2024 and was recently benched for the Three Lions' 3-0 win over Greece.

And Scholes thinks Kane's time as a guaranteed starter could be drawing to a close after Ollie Watkins was picked ahead of him.
"It felt like the end of Harry Kane [during the international break] – the beginning of the end. He looked out of place in the team," he said.
"When you get older you feel like everything happens a bit quicker around you and it looked a bit like that. But I don't know how we'd replace him."
Keane then defended Kane and said: "He's only 31! We're talking about him like he's 35 or 36."

But Scholes stuck to his guns by saying: "He just looks that way though, doesn't he?"
Neville responded: "Alan Shearer, near the end, was a bit like that as well, wasn't he?"
Scholes replied: "And he retired from England at 31!"
