Wayne Rooney leaves Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer in HYSTERICS with brutal Micah Richards put-down as he retells story of their playing days during FA Cup Final coverage

Wayne Rooney left his fellow BBC pundits in giggles after retelling a story about Micah Richards from the pair's playing days. 

The two former England internationals were part of the studio team for the FA Cup Final alongside Gary Lineker and during the pre-match conversations, were asked about their time together in Manchester as young Premier League footballers. 

Rooney and Richards were big names for either side of Manchester, and the former England striker recalled seeing his former rival during one of their nights out. 

However, this wasn't from when the pair were frequenting one of Manchester's popular nightclubs or bars, but it was chance meeting in a local Chinese takeaway. 

A meeting that Rooney joked down to Richards celebrating a particular milestone, one that saw the four former footballers in hysterics in the studio. 

Rooney said: 'I remember seeing Micah at a Chinese resutrant and I was in there with my family, having a quiet meal. 

'Micah came in with about twenty of his guys and they were celebrating. So I was thinking, what are they celebrating? And it was because Micah had made his 50th Premier League appearance!

'I was sat in the restaurant, saying, what is he doing?'  

The story was met with a gaggle of laughter from all four men, acknowledging the fact that Richards was making a big deal of 'just' playing fifty Premier League games. 

As the quartet broke into hysterics, former Manchester City defender attempted to save his blushes by saying: 'It was the Premier League, it was a big thing, a big thing for me Wayne. Why did you have to say that?'
