Ashley Williams has revealed Robin van Persie blanked his apology after he infamously kicked the ball at the Manchester United hero's head.
Back in 2012, Williams found himself the major talking point after a clash between Swansea and the Red Devils, when he launched his clearance into the back of Van Persie's head.
The Dutchman was lying on the ground after being tripped outside the box, before Swans captain Williams blasted the ball at him from just yards away as referee Michael Oliver blew the whistle for a foul.
A furious row broke out with both players being booked, but that wasn't the end of the matter.
Fergie's fury
While the match ended 1-1, all the talk afterwards revolved around Williams, not least after a fiery post-match interview from Sri Alex Ferguson.
The legendary United boss famously said that the Welsh defender 'could have killed' Van Persie with his actions.
Ferguson fumed: “He could have been killed [Van Persie], I think the FA has got to look into it.
"I think irrespective of him having a yellow card, he should be banned for a long time because that was the most dangerous thing I've seen in a football field for many, many years."
The Scot insisted Williams had acted deliberately, and continued to call on the FA to ban him retrospectively.
He added: “Absolutely deliberate. Absolutely no question. The whistle's gone, the game has stopped, and he's done that right in front of the referee. Two feet from the player.

Funny how Fergie conveniently forgot about all the things his Utd team got away with over the years. How many years was it that they didn’t have a penalty awarded against them at OT? |  | | |

Still love the chant the following season, "Robin Van Persie, we thought you were dead". |  | | |

Killed? Keepers have had to cope with the ball being blasted against all parts of the body with no fatalities (just from the ball) that I can recall. Balls are a lot lighter now as well. | | | |
