Arsenal Invincible, England defender, and one of the most respected analysts in the modern game
FootballIf you needed one defender to put a foot in for the next ninety minutes of your life, you would pick Martin Keown. Everyone who played with him says so, and everyone who played against him mutters it quietly.
Born in Oxford in 1966, Keown came through the Arsenal youth system, left for Aston Villa and Everton, and then returned to Highbury in 1993 to become part of George Graham's back four and later the spine of Arsene Wenger's first great side. He won three league titles and four FA Cups at Arsenal, and crowned his career as a member of the 2003-04 Invincibles, the only English top-flight side to go an entire Premier League season unbeaten. He won 43 caps for England across three managers.
Post-retirement he has built an equally strong second career as a broadcaster. His analysis on BBC Match of the Day and Radio 5 Live is admired for being forensic without being showy, and he is one of the few pundits whose name makes current Premier League defenders sit up and listen.
At Steam he delivers the Invincibles story from the inside, along with the occasional Keown glare for full effect. Audiences enjoy the rigour and the odd unreported dressing-room moment from the Wenger years.
