He witnessed the birth of the Premier League, the arrival of the millionaire player and was a key player in one of the best sides of all time - Wenger's Arsenal. So why has he always felt like a man battling on the edge? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this autobiography, Keown recounts how a son of working-class Irish parents, raised in a hostile England during the unrest of the 1970s, rose to be an automatic and enduring pick for club and country; the outsider who stayed the distance while so many insiders fell away. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOver his career, Keown played alongside some of the world's finest footballers - including Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Tony Adams, David Beckham - and under inspirational managers - Arsène Wenger, Kevin Keegan, Sven-Göran Eriksson, Howard Kendall. He was the backbone for many years of the invincible Arsenal team that went on to win the 2003\/4 Premier League title without losing a match. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKnown as \"The Rash\" by friend and foe alike for the intensity of his man-marking, Keown always played as if he had more to prove.
