Summary
In this episode I talk to Arsenal legend Martin Keown on the publication of his book 'On the edge'. We chat about his Irish background, his strength of character at 19 to stand up to George Graham over a financial issue and to move away from the club he loved, and his time at Aston Villa and Everton. We also discuss the brutal world of professional football back then, his return to Arsenal and his relationship with the famous 'back four', how Arsene Wenger got more out of him than any other manager, and lots more. You can also win one of two signed copies of the book.
'On the Edge' is published by Penguin – and is available from your local independent bookstore!
