Martin Keown played at the highest level over three revolutionary decades - the 80s, 90s and 00s - which saw the birth of the Premier League and the advent of millionaire superstar footballers. He was a key man in one of the finest sides of all time - Arsène Wenger's Arsenal. So why has he always felt like a man battling on the edge? Keown recounts how a lad from a working class Irish immigrant background, raised in a hostile England during the troubles, rose to be an automatic pick for club and country, and so enduringly: the outsider who stayed the distance while so many insiders fell away.
