- As a teenager Keown had been lauded as a neat and constructive player seen, in the long-term, as a partner for David O'Leary. The emergence of one Tony Adams put paid to that, but with a newly-acquired versatility picked up elsewhere, he became a vital cog in the Graham machine.
Martin was deployed most frequently at centre-half where his formidable pace and thunderous tackling combined to thwart both target men and strikers running in behind. It meant, too, that he was vastly capable in an anchoring midfield role; something utilised by his manager.
When Arsène Wenger took the reins in 1996 Keown continued to strive for improvement and, despite his increasing years, he remained as redoubtable as ever. The footballing intellect he had demonstrated in the nascent stages of his career returned while, crucially, his bite and combative nature was unfailing.
Major honours had so far eluded Keown - he was cup-tied for the 1993 FA Cup and League Cup success, while injury robbed him of a Cup Winners' Cup medal a year later - but in 1998 when Wenger's men swept away all before them the defender played a pivotal role alongside Adams.
But Keown was now the wrong side of 35. Testament to his character, though, he fought back from wear-and-tear injuries to win another 'double' in 2002.
Eventually he relinquished his position to a young Kolo Toure, making his final appearance in May 2004 as Arsenal completed their 'Invincibles' season, Keown's third League title.
That - plus the packed house for his Highbury testimonial - was the perfect send-off for one of the club's greatest defenders.

Keown jumping all over van nistelrooy is one of footballs greatest moments.
Great memories.
Honestly I was really proud of that response , we weren’t going to be bullied.
exactly
Lol fax
Loser.
Loving these documentaries. I wish the current players had even half the passion, desire that these legends had
I know that's what Arsenel is missing
@Billy McCarthy yeah man
Very true. That's why they are LEGENDS
@@tokunboomonubi4329 absolutely bro. It's sad seeing how far we have fallen but we keep the faith and hope that somehow the glory days return 🙏
@@tokunboomonubi4329 Those players and those type of people dont exist anymore.
What a man what a player wish we had someone like him now
So do I, and I'm a Spurs fan. Should have played for England many more times. Top man.

Adam and Keown are two monster in Arsenal defence !!
*Adams

Fikri Auliya I mean it’s not up to me, it’s literally his name

wildebest a real live troll ... how u doing little fella
Martin Keown is a true legend
Ozil too
Known was a great player. Fearless and an absolute warrior in that Arsenal defence.
A warrior of a CB this man was. We could do with him right now. Absolute legend.
Martin Keown...he is also Mr Arsenal. Will never be another like Martin.
What about Austin trusty
Great guy, Leader, Passion for the club, a true great who is so low-key and no ego. True Love for the club!
Hard as Nails = Martin Keown
One of my favourite players of all time. A true Legend. We really should have named a stand after him, he was the new Adams. A professional bully, a fierce defender of what all Arsenal means; a Legend.
How We do miss him these days of suppression and decline by the clueless Americans
@KabzHD I wouldn't want to mention it on his blog though ,)
For me, even thought you're correct (just lol) I would prefer Keown just because after Adams, we thought 'another one' wouldn't be possible. Keown was arguably under far more pressure following in the Great Man's footsteps. That takes proper guts. I wish our defenders today had 1% of what he had
One of my favourite players doesn't get enough credit for the great defender he was, people usually remember his robust nature on the pitch
I'd forgotten how quick he actually was in his younger years. His biggest attribute was his mentality. Someone you'd want in your corner every time.
As an old bloke (49!) with failing memory I'm pretty sure I either read about or watched Michael Owen and Alan Shearer, two of the best strikers England have ever had, saying that Keown was the most difficult defender they have ever played against. He was definitely underrated by the media, but us Gooners and England fans knew his worth. Now let's have a Ray Parlour vid!
Ray always scored great goals
Top defender and totally fearless 💪
Best man marker in the business!!
I was not young enough to watch him play for Arsenal but watching the highlights made me realize how great and dedicated player he was🔥🔥. The way he reacted after Van Nisterloy missed that penalty says it all.
He is what we lack in our current team, passion, aggression, sheer brilliance and love for this club❤️🙏
old*
ATLEAST you admit it unlike so many others on here acting like they watched him play LOL. Glad I got to see him In his prime.
That Van Nistleroy incident was iconic!!
@@caroleshelemay7833 The shear fact he doesn't even regret it is just amazing. true legend.
Wouldn't write Tierney off so soon
He was tough as nails as a player. Keown a true legend.
Absolute ledge
Vieira's minder
Tough as nails, ultimate competitor.
Loved and bled Arsenal'. Despised van nistlerooy.
Can't ask more than that.
Who wouldn’t despise those divers
Awesome player, my personal favourite! Went to his testimonial!
Legend 🙌 such a consistent player
He was a top class player 👍
Hope we can find another proper defender like him he was so passionate with our club and fans true legend ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Martin the rash Keown what a player
beast defender, he was a rock in his prime for us. as a kid, i remember Keown to me was one of our field bullies you're glad to have and gives you confidence about the team's defence
THANK YOU ARSENAL FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL DOCUMENTARY.
Only right and proper that Martin is featured in Arsenal Legends early on in the series. Sure he was tough as hell but people tend to focus on that too much and not enough on his footballing ability, as well as his passion. Doubt you'll read this Mr. Keown but thanks for being an important part of my Arsenal life. And thanks AFC for these videos, they're just superb!
If there's a documentary of Alan Smith in the future... I am all for it !
He should have one underrated
@@tris87don16 He surely was, another one was Kanu...
Me too
I wonder how disappointed Martin would be with the level of passion from the subsequent arsenal teams
58:45 onwards... listen to that passion!!! 😭😭😭 THIS is what you want your players to feel about your club. Martin Keown, you absolutely did give EVERYTHING for Arsenal and we love you for it! 🎵 Keown, there's only one Keown... 🎵
Keown is one of my favorite defenders of all time.Great documentary 👍
Just realised after all of these years and being there back in the day for both games Our talismanic Captains Adams and Vieira scored on the very last game of the title winning seasons against teams in blue. This documentary gives you goosebumps, you feel the heat and relive the feelings of those great moments and the bad ones. Should be mandatory for out current players to watch this and to see what it means to be a true gunner.
History of PL..
If Man United lose a Game Arsenal are Champions
If Arsenal lose a Game Man U are Champion..
He’s right on one point, it’s not a sacrifice to become a professional football player. I would have loved to have played professionally. You aren’t sacrificing anything to become a player. Well said.
These documentaries come in clutchhhhh
If only this arsenal squad had his heart, and passion to play for this club, the way Martin did! Had that nasty streak you need, and he loved doing it! What a legend
Keown, arsenal born and bred
What we are missing in our current squad. Passion for winning, fight & grit and love for Arsenal
This man is Arsenal.Never give up.A warrior.Legend.
These documentaries are special
Thankfully I am just old enough to remember the great Arsenal teams of the 90's - 00's
Fantastic! I never seen him play live because i was a bit young, but he has Arsenal in his blood!
Loving this documentaries, keep them coming Arsenal.
For me, the difference is belonging. Very few footballers feel like they belong nowadays. Like the club they represent is their country, their home and they'd give their all.
football is no longer a sport it is purely a commodity. There used to be a balance but that has gone and so has its soul. The final nail in the coffin will be when they start a European super league. It will happen some day just as the premiership and champions league happened its how football evolves .
I feel he should be given the job of being in charge of our defense as our defense coach
He was in charge of the defence when we reached the champions league final and we kept ten clean sheets in a row in European games. Then they let him go. Shambles.
He prefers to do punditry but he’s a superb defensive coach
"Oh, it's Tony Adams, put through by Steve Bould...WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT!!!That..sums it all up!!" That piece of commentary still gives me goosebumps
Brilliant world class defender. Could do all aspects of defending, amazing strong and quick. Not many got the better of Martin. A true Arsenal man, Legend.
Arsenal great 💯
Absolute gentleman
Keown!!! There's only ONE Keown!!! There's only one Keown!!! ❤❤❤
Disrespectful of him to not even name Everton as the club he left for. Everton fans are very loyal and supportive. We gave him a lot of support during his time at Goodison. He did well hence the opportunity to return to his boyhood club. Just a little respect appreciated.
Psuedo intellectual is this guy. An average player surrounded by top quality. His so called determination and grit nothing special and bog standard in lower level players. Average player.
Thank you so much for these videos. As someone who’s supported Arsenal thick and thin over the last 23 years, starting at the age of 11, it’s so good to watch the legends talk about their time, the club and the emotions they felt playing for Arsenal. Leaves me a little teary-eyed to see the early days of the Wenger era, so many great memories associated with that time.
Legend indeed. Personified the spirit that makes Arsenal the fantastic club that they are.
Old guard. Absolutely legend 🔴🤘🏿😍💂
LEGEND
Please share this video to the current lot ...let them learn something about playing for the badge ! what a guy! Legend ...
Every player at arsenal should be required to watch this.
Immense passion for the club! A real legend Keown is. I hope the players we bring should have that same passion for this club cause lately the current players just seem to be enjoying collecting their money...We need more bred and born Arsenal players representing the club on the pitch!!!
Legend
I remember when he used to get head injuries during a game and had to have it bandaged. When he came back on he always played harder/better. Total legend.
Martin Keown speaks English in a standard accent, being easy to catch what he says, honestly, not many British footballers say English as well as him...⚘😍⚽️
Thanks for his great great contribution 👏
Wish we had a few more like him now, Martins type are a dying breed these days unfortunately.
Worthy of an Arsenal legends documentary, worthy of 100 England caps. Thanks Martin.
Legend.
Much respect
Another fantastic legend- need to get Vieira- pires - Campbell & all them to do a docu
What a warrior. I'll never forget the passion he showed at Old Trafford that day lol. Made me proud to be a Gooner.
Tough as nails...seemed to love a bit off needle on the pitch..i remember the night at old trafford and scholes trying to barge him waiting for a free keown just shoved him and the ref telling him to calm down.legend....arsenal meant the world to him thats the difference nowawadays.
This was a brilliant documentary, I always liked Martin.. Solid man, solid player. Was unlucky England were so blessed at the time at centre back. Makes me feel more sorry for the way White and Jordan gang up on him on Talksport
😂😂😂
Hopefully these good old times comes back sooner Coyg
Hardman 💪🦵 i always remember him wearing those red Puma boots
This is amazing!
What a legend. One of my favorite players
Wonderful documentary....Martin is so elequant in his speaking...and interesting...Nice to hear a footballer who has intelligence too 😁 Think he could have gone into coaching with his knowledge and experience.
Martin and Lee Dixon both still look fit enough to still play.
That moment where he inspired Ronaldo's Siiiiiiiu celebration on that Rudd Dutch sissy's neck is enough for him to be a legend let alone all the games and titles!
I could watch that in incident all day!
@ a.79 what what happened?
@@initman01 Go watch the incident vs United where he hit Van Nistelrooy after the penalty and you'll understand 😅
@@alaooooy7 haha yeah i get you lmao.
Tony Adams next please
Great player for the club
What a man! A legend!
Watching these documentaries about Henry, bergkamp,Wrighty keown, Adams, Vieira, Freddie Ljungberg etc makes me so emotional all the time, damn I miss my club:(
Great video. You know he was good just on Alan Shearer saying how much he hated playing against him. 100% committed, hard as nails and one of my favourite defenders along with Tony.
A true war horse this man is, always gave 100%. We need a few keowns in our club these days to remind the youth it's not holiday camp.
A fuckin ledgend , Arsenal through and through , need personal like him at the club now .
More documentaries pleaseee
the best man for man marker Ive ever seen
Overmars & Anelka were amazing. We sold them and got Pires and Henry. Selling players (for a reasonable price) isn't an issue, but you must replace them like for like. Sadly over years we have sold players for peanuts, then downgraded. Even worse, we have let some players run down their contracts and let them go for free.
Good stuff, let's have a wenger or viera or seamen or pires or wrighty
Great storyteller
Keown what a player what legend
Let’s go Martin Keown what a legend and best defender ever apart from every other arsenal defender keep it lads hope u staying safe and soon we will get to see flips after flips after flips(auba)🤣❤️🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴❤️
Oh, Reyes, ouch, didn’t expect that to hurt so bad. RIP Invincible 😢
Most underrated player of all time Overmars was a beast.
I cried
Absolute LEGEND
Brilliant documentary
Our legend!!
Legend ❤️
I went to his last game, North Bank left wing lower, so greaful to have witnessed in my lifetime how great Arsenal was.. hopefully current times can change 🙈
I'm watching all these Arsenal legend documentaries and it baffles me to see this team not win a European trophy. Like Keown said we were always the second best
The keown song made me love him . Keown 🎶🎼there's only one keown 🎶
legend, strong, decisive, powerful, gentleman (except against nistleroy lol)
true arsenal legend!
Real legend
What a legend!
Proper no-nonsense player. Don't make 'em like Keown any longer. Great Arsenal player
