John Terry deletes tweet criticising Keane for refusing fan picture

“Being in the public eye, I detest it, I hate it,” Keane said. “There’s nothing worse than people coming up to you but listen, people can be polite too. However, sticking a phone into your face or following you with a camera is not on.

“If you said no to their request, people would then think you’re rude. I’d be going, ‘I’m the rude one? You’re coming up to me with a phone?’

“There are really good fans – I bumped into a United fan who showed me his tattoo and he just said, ‘alright’ and walked on.

“I was thinking, that’s a proper fan. People who invade your privacy with a phone or jersey, I think they’re just annoying.”
