Martin Keown - strong defender (Allsport).
MARTIN KEOWN
Position: Defender
Born: 24.07.66
Club: Arsenal
Now facing the last major tournament of his career, Keown is determined to
make up for sitting on the sidelines at France '98. He took time to make his
mark under Eriksson after initial injury problems and a fractured leg intervened
again this season, but other injuries earned him a late summons against Paraguay
and his experience has proved the key to his call-up.
Was one of the few players to shine in England's miserable early Euro 2000 exit in the Low Countries. His performances in Arsenal's march towards the Double showed just why he's on the plane with the rest of the squad.
His magnificent performance as the Gunners clinched the Premiership title summed him up.
