Career in Pictures: Arsenal legend Martin Keown

Giggs Gaffe

However, the following campaign saw Keown endure a rather forgettable moment in the FA Cup.

During the semi-final replay, of all occasions, in extra-time!

The defender failed to stop Manchester United winger Ryan Giggs from scoring his renowned solo goal back in April 1999 – the eventual winner in the 109th minute at Villa Park.

Although Keown publicly pointed the finger at team-mate Lee Dixon, many Gunners fans still blame the centre-half for his poor positioning during the Welshman’s attack, before he failed to stay on his feet during a tame attempt to win the ball.
