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?In 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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-Göram 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.

Fearless too, as you’ll discover – he doesn’t pull any punches here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn The Edge is the story of one of Arsenal’s all-time greats – a man whose commitment put him at the centre of the pitch, a place he dominated like almost no other footballer of his generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43704913133612,"sku":"9780241707821","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780241707821.jpg?v=1722933245","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780241707821","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
