My Take
Keown represents the kind of footballer I quietly cherish: the uncompromising defender who never chases the spotlight. Over 400 appearances for Arsenal and ten honours, all built on a 186cm frame and a willingness to throw his body into the dirty work from 1984 to 2005. Strikers get the headlines, but teams only win when someone behind them refuses to be beaten, and Keown was exactly that man across Brighton, Aston Villa, Everton and more. Now working as a pundit, he brings the gaze of a career spent reading attackers. I trust the analysis of a man who learned the game from the back.
