Roy Keane leaves Ian Wright in stitches with perfectly timed Eni Aluko comment

Jill Scott claimed she didn't do many women's games nowadays with quickly questioning whether it was "because of Ian" - which left Ian Wright himself in hysterics.

Keane's jibe made light of the storm that stemmed from in the women's football industry and that his constant appearances as a pundit were blocking other females from getting a shot in the media.

Wright has been among the biggest advocates of the women's game and regularly features as part of the panel during England matches. Scott and Aluko both enjoyed stellar playing careers and have now had to pursue paths away from the pitch.

Scott won ITV's and is a regular on the Overlap alongside the likes of Keane, Wright, and . Aluko meanwhile has found opportunities harder to come by and has suggested that Wright's stature isn't helping her and her fellow females.

During a discussion round the table Scott said: "I don't do many of the women's games and stuff because I'm..." Before Keane quickly swept in and said: "Because of Ian" - pointing towards the icon as they were all left laughing.

Aluko originally said: "I've worked with Ian a long time and I think he's a brilliant broadcaster. But I think he's aware of just how much he's doing in the women's game. I think he should be aware of that. There is a limited amount of space available. I can't dominate the men's game in the way that – you know, you used Ian as an example – Ian is dominating the women’s game.

"We need to make sure that women are not being blocked from having a pathway to broadcasting in the women's game. It is still new, it is still growing. There is a very fine amount of opportunities and I think that men need to be aware of that."

Aluko, having copped huge backlash for her comments, attempted to u-turn as she issued an apology before adding that she was "trying to make a broader point" but admitted that "it was wrong for lan's name to be raised".

Despite her attempted apology the Arsenal great refused to make peace and said: "I've got to say, I'm very disappointed about what Eni has said, she knows how I've helped her, supported her publicly, and I know the previous conversations she's had with me and my management. I've seen the apology on social media, but I can't accept it, but I also want to move on."
