2. Andy Cole And Teddy Sheringham
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVZGPZtVzGU For a period of such unbridled success in Manchester United's history, it seemed strange that two of the club's most potent goal-scoring threats actively despised each other. Stemming from a petty incident on international duty, neither character particularly cover themselves in glory when recounting the fractious tale of the break-down in their relationship. The setting was 1995 and the former Newcastle United goal-poacher was readying himself on the sidelines for a nerve-wracking international debut against Uruguay.
''I was no nervous it was frightening. This was the culmination of a lifetime of ambition. The magnitude of playing for England was indescribable. I walk on to the pitch, 60,000 or so watching. Sheringham is coming off. I expect a brief handshake, a ''Good luck, Coley'', something. I am ready to shake. He actively snubs me, for no reason I was ever aware of then or since. We're fellow England players, it is my debut and he snubs me. I was embarrassed. I was confused. Two years later, after Eric Cantona left United, Sheringham arrived. We scored a lot of goals. I never spoke a single word to him.'' - Andy Cole,
Quick to state how he has 'loathed' the former Spurs striker based on that refusal to shake his hand nearly 20 years ago, it simply makes Cole look like a small and petty man. Taking the snub personally, he refused to settle his differences with Sheringham, making for one frosty yet fruitful partnership at Old Trafford.
