After spending years both playing and doing punditry alongside Roy Keane, being the butt of an Irish man's joke is nothing unusual for Gary Neville.
However, a bizarre encounter with Irish WWE star Sheamus went to a whole other level when the Dubliner put Neville in a 'clover leaf'.
Sheamus, who was born in Dublin and joined the WWE in 2006 before rising through the ranks and making a name for himself as one of the world's top wrestlers is also a life-long Liverpool fan and is well known for his avid support of the Premier League side.
So when he and Manchester United legend Gary Neville were put in the same room, there was only ever going to be one result.

Sheamus and Gary Neville share bizarre Liverpool interaction
The pair were both appearing on the Overlap's US Podcast 'It's Called Soccer' podcast when Sheamus instructed Neville to get on the floor before doing a sharpshooter move on the pundit.
After flipping Neville over and pushing his face into the ground, Sheamus revealed that he'd wanted to do this since he was a teenager:
I feel sorry for you... do you know how long I've waited to do this... since I was probably 12/14 years old.
Once there was no way back for Neville, Sheamus put the pressure on, forcing the former footballer into a Liverpool admission.
This is called the Clover Leaf. Say Liverpool are going to win the league.
While Neville initially rejected Sheamus' pressure saying 'Fuck Liverpool', it was only ever going to be a matter of time before he obliged, with a final prompt of 'Say Liverpool are number one! Say it Gary! Say it,' leaving Neville with little option but to comply.

Despite the absolutely bizarre sixty seconds of footage, it was obviously all in good spirits as the pair and host Rebecca Lowe all broke down into hysterics.
That said, I don't think I'll be banging any drums for Manchester United around the WWE star shortly.
His appearance on It's Called Soccer won't be Sheamus' first time making impromptu appearances beside some of the world's biggest pundits either, with the 46-year-old famously starring on one of America's biggest online sports shows, The Pat McAfee Show when it came to Dublin for the Aer Lingus College Classic between Georgia Tech and Florida State last year.
