Micah Richards denies being Roy Keane's 'stooge' during headbutt trial

Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards shared his experience in court about an incident involving Roy Keane. He mentioned feeling sorry for Roy, who is his friend, after witnessing an alleged headbutt. Micah described seeing a man running towards Roy and then attempting to headbutt him. He demonstrated the action in court and explained that Roy was hit more on his jaw than his face. The defense barrister argued that Micah made the claim of witnessing the headbutt because he is friends with Roy and is trying to protect him. Micah denied these accusations and emphasized that he was genuinely shocked by the incident. He described Roy as being calm and cool after the incident, despite his tough reputation. Micah clarified that he asked the man why he did that to Roy. The man accused of headbutting Roy, Mr. Law, stated that he moved his head forward defensively to protect himself from what he perceived as a violent approach by Roy. The defense presented CCTV footage showing Roy elbowing Mr. Law in the face. Mr. Law's defense was described as "ridiculous" by the prosecution, as his explanation had changed significantly from his initial statement to the police. In summary, Micah Richards testified in court about an incident involving Roy Keane being headbutted. He expressed his shock and sympathy for Roy, denying any claims of making up the story to protect his friend. The accused man, Mr. Law, defended himself by stating he acted defensively against what he perceived as a threat from Roy. The court proceedings revealed conflicting testimonies and interpretations of the events that took place.
