MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Pallister slammed a car door in a fit of rage during an argument with team-mate Brian McClair, it has been revealed.
Pallister, 57, and McClair, 59, were team-mates for nine years between 1989 and 1998.
They won four Premier League titles together, dominating the mid-1990s under Sir Alex Ferguson.
But it was not always smooth sailing for Fergie's boys during that golden age at Old Trafford.
And ex-Man Utd and Scotland forward McClair has spoken about how he sometimes wound other players up – citing an incident with Pallister as an example.
Speaking to The Telegraph, he said: "The other players say they never got my sense of humour. I take that as an accolade.

"When we got to his house, he jumped out the car, shouting at me, slamming the door and running off up his drive so I couldn’t respond. I laughed all the way home."
McClair and Pallister both left United in 1998 after racking up nearly 800 appearances between them.
Frustratingly for the pair, the club would go on to win the treble the following season.
Pallister finished his career with a three-year stint at Middlesbrough.
McClair headed back to Scotland for the final six months of his career as he returned to Motherwell 15 years after departing for Celtic.
