Martin Keown: On the Edge, Gebunden

Klappentext

PRE-ORDER THE OFFICIAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY FROM ENGLAND FOOTBALLING LEGEND MARTIN KEOWN NOW

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Over three revolutionary decades, Martin Keown played football at the highest level. 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.
Over 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.
Known 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. But his teammates knew he was fast, skilful, tough and loyal, a leader on and off the pitch. Fearless too, as you'll discover - he doesn't pull any punches here.
On 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.
