Dennis Wise Squared to Jay Speasing in a charity legends between Liverpool and Chelsea.
The former midfielders collided in the friendly in Anfield on Saturday, where all proceeds went to the LFC Foundation plus supportive beneficiaries, including Forever Reds, Chelsea FC Foundation and Chelsea Players' Trust.
Both teams saw many ex-stars, with Liverpool with big names such as Steven Gerrard, Jerzy Dudek and Dirk Kuyt.
Visitors Chelsea gave starts to Azen, including Claude Makelele, Florent Malouda and Ramires.
And it was Liverpool who came victimizing in a 2-0 win thanks to a brace from Super-sub Peter Crouch.
But despite the peaceful character of the game, it was a bit heated in the first half when Wise and Spearing had a collision.
The duo were both combat midfielders in their prime.
And neither of them was willing to withdraw when he tried to win the ball in the 27th minute.
But wise, 58, was not happy with Spearing, 36.
The former Captain of Chelsea, who won two FA Cups and a UEFA Cup winner's cup, squared on his way to Spearing after their duel.
