TYSON FURY’S F-word rallying call live on ITV forced Soccer Aid presenters Alex Scott and Dermot O’Leary to hastily apologise.
Fury and Wayne Rooney were motivating their England team ahead of the special charity match against a World XI at Old Trafford.
The boxing legend then mixed a reference to a brutal fighting force from ancient times with X-rated language to stir up the home side further.
The former world heavyweight champ stood next to co-manager Harry Redknapp in front of a team badge on the ground in the dressing room.
Fury roared: “75,000 sell-out. Unicef a great cause.
“Let’s not forget these Three Lions on the floor.
“Let them know how good we are. We are England. We are f***ing Spartans.”
That sparked laughter from his players – but brought a sharp intervention from Scott.
The ex-Arsenal defender said: “We apologise for the swearing.”
The Gypsy Ling then swore AGAIN in the middle of the first half, prompting another apology from ITV, with Scott promising to “have a word with him afterwards”.
Fury’s wild moment followed excitement amongst fans over a possible playing return for pop icon Robbie Williams.
An England shirt with ‘Williams’ and No. 3 on the back was pictured in the changing room – hinting at a comeback by the 51-year-old.
He hadn’t made the official team list – which as always includes a mix of celebrities and footballing legends.
This time that means ex-Prem heroes like Paul Scholes, Gary Neville and Jack Wilshere lining up with big names like actors Tom Hiddleston and Bella Ramsey, plus Angry Ginge and Steven Bartlett.
The World squad includes Leonardo Bonucci , Nemanja Vidic and Tony Bellew.
