TYSON FURY’S F-word rallying call live on ITV forced Soccer Aid presenters Alex Scott and Dermot O’Leary to apologise.
Fury and Wayne Rooney were rousing their England team ahead of the special charity match against a World XI at Old Trafford.
The boxing legend chose to mix a reference to a brutal fighting force from ancient times with X-rated language to stir up the home side.
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 then 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 also brought a sharp intervention from Scott.
The ex-Arsenal defender said: “We apologise for the swearing.”
