Celeb-Footy Feuds: From Pop Stars Slagging Off Jorginho to Rod Stewart Calling Keane a Bully

Footballers and celebs mingle like it's no big deal, but when egos clash, it gets properly mental. We're talking pop idols firing shots at Arsenal midfielders and rock legends dubbing Roy Keane a bully. Buckle up for seven absolute crackers where showbiz and the beautiful game went toe-to-toe.

These scraps prove that even off the pitch, passions run hotter than a Manchester derby.

Fresh Beef: Pop and Punditry Gone Wrong

Kicking off with the latest oddity: Chappell Roan versus Jorginho. The rising pop sensation sparked a storm on Instagram, prompting Brazilian fans to flood her comments after some perceived slight. It escalated to the Arsenal man issuing a statement: 'I don't hate children.' Absolute PR nightmare – we're calling it the weirdest row of the year.

Then there's Liam Gallagher letting rip at Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville. Back in 2022, after Erling Haaland's derby hat-trick for Man City, the Sky Sports duo gushed like proud dads. Liam wasn't having it, tweeting: 'He's ours, not the Premier League's. What's this 'WE' from Bert and Ernie?' Classic Oasis snark – take it with a pint of salt, but gold nonetheless.

Classic Clashes: Blades Drama and Morrissey's Rants

Rewind to 2007, Sheffield United's grim relegation. Club legend and Game of Thrones star Sean Bean, then a board director, reportedly lost it at Neil Warnock's wife in a corridor rant. Warnock claimed Bean swore at his missus and young lad, calling him a 'tough guy actor' who left them in tears. Bean fired back: no way he'd curse near kids, and he apologised pronto. Blades fans still dub Warnock 'Colin W*****' – proper grudge fuel.

Over in misery central, Morrissey has a long-standing beef with David Beckham. In 2013, the ex-Smiths frontman slated the Beckhams as 'insufferable', predicting knighthoods and national shame. Becks? Stone-cold silence. Smart lad – engaging Mozza is like arguing with your nan about the weather.

Piers Morgan deserves a mention for beefing with basically every Arsenal player under the sun. We won't dwell; the man's a headline hoover.

Serious Stakes and Singer Snipes

Things got legal when Mark Wahlberg's fitness firm stiffed Beckham on $14 million in promo stock back in 2022. Old LA mates turned courtroom foes; Wahlberg's lot settled quietly. Cash over camaraderie, eh?

Finally, Rod Stewart – die-hard Celtic man – called out Keane on talkSPORT in 2021: 'Elite player, but a bully. Too aggressive for management?' Keane waited years, then unloaded on his podcast: 'Rod slags everyone. Saw him live – rubbish voice that night. Time to hang up the mic, like a boxer retiring.' Savage from the Irish hardman.

Why These Rows Stick

These feuds show footy's grip on celebs – from Premier League icons to Sheffield United diehards. They're daft, heated, and endlessly entertaining. Next time you're at the pub, drop one on your mates. Who knows, might spark your own scrap.
