After watching and disliking, but grudgingly respecting Keown as a player for so many years, it makes me really happy to see what a genuinely nice bloke he is.
I have been an arsenal fan all my life, but never saw this side of Martin Keown… what an absolute legend.. articulate, funny and mesmerising. What a great interview
I always thought him intelligent and thoughtful even when jumping on Van Nistelrooy and most seemed to think he was a dim tank of a bloke - I'm glad his punditry career shows what a decent bloke he is.
such a brilliant episode with an Arsenal great. As a young arsenal supporter, I'm sad I never got to witness the 1998 and Invincible teams play live. The character and passion those teams showed to achieve what they did is something the current squad could look up to if they want to achieve greatness. I also loved the stories of all the funny moments and the challenges that happened on and off the pitch. Hearing about the more human side of a footballers career really gives me a deeper appreciation for all of their achievements. Thank you Gary, Alan, and Martin❤
I am lucky enough to have watched football from 1994 onwards. Arsenal in the late 90s/early 2000s were incredible. I remember Man United were dominating and for a few seasons they couldn't cope with Arsenal. Great battles, great rivalry
What an episode. Mr. Keown is one the toughest, grittiest, consistent central defenders the premier league and Arsenal have ever seen. And like many others, I too pine for 80’s/90’s/2000’s era of football where players were creative, spontaneous and enjoyed the beautiful game.
I'm a Liverpool fan and I never liked Martin as a player because he was hard as nails and I knew our forwards would get a battering. He's a fantastic pundit and this interview was amazing, what a TOP MAN!
A fan from the Netherlands: Gary, you will be missed on the BBC, but thankfully I can continue enjoying your podcast. Sports journalists can learn a lot from you. Thank you for the fantastic shows!
Lifetime Liverpool fan but Keown is still a legend! Always enjoyed watching how tough and strong he was…should have had more England time like he said!!
You guys are really killing it with the interviews! Everyone on the channel has been interesting and with some fantastic stories both good and bad that we would never have got to hear otherwise so thank you lads. Thanks to Harry and the rest of the team backstage as well, always well put together and edited etc and its appreciated. Cheers to you all 🍻
Martin was 38 during the invincible season and did his part. It's unfortunate that Mr Arsenal (Adams) left in 2002 and couldn't become an invincible! What a time to be alive. I was in high school.
Biased as an Arsenal fan, but a superb interview and insight, I connect with Martin being passionate & principled which probably enhances his intensity and competitiveness. ❤
This kind of interview makes me crave for football in the 80s, 90s and the early 2000s, and clearly those older than me would wish earlier than that. But that was what I grew up with, especially as an Arsenal fan. Proper players with skills. Money, stats and data have ruined football. Even as an Arsenal fan, players like JJ Okocho were a pleasure to watch at Bolton. Would an Okocho be successful in today's Premier League? I doubt it. Players were proper players back then, now they're just glorified athletes.
@@Rafflewafflez He wouldn't, Okocho's talent was his skill and his footballing brain. But he wouldn't have the stats for City. He was too laid back in his style, teams would have to carry him.
Money has always been a part of football, it's the most popular sport in the world. The difference with back then is it wasn't as documented as it is now.
1. This is nothing to do with Simon Jordan. 2. Simon is FAR more articulate you simply cannot dispute that. 3. Keown is a very biased contributor to tv and radio.
@@DenverBK1980 Articulate? An analysis piece for MOTD I saw him do was literally "look at this ... Pass, bang bang bang, goal!" No there was no context, that was it. One of the worst pundits going.
Thank you, Martin! Gary and Shearer-what a dream it would be to grab a coffee with these heroes of mine. Even at the ripe age of 60, these guys always bring a smile to my face. Thanks again! 😎
As a Liverpool fan I really enjoy this podcast with Gary, Alan and Micah. The personalities that you guys interview and the way that you interview them is thoroughly interesting and most entertaining...please keep it up
Irish Keown? wow didnt know. Reminds me, Im sure Gary remembers Gerry McGowan. He was from Derry, signed for Leicester Youth Team and lived in digs with Gary back in about 1979. He came home for a quick visit with his family, and by sheer coincidence was arrested for being an IRA member. Forced to sign a confession, then got sentenced to life. Anyway, he went on the run for 20 years, then got an apology from the British government. If he hadnt gone back that weekend, he could have been a household name. great documentary about it on youtube called running scared 2002.
Thank you for a wonderful interview with Martin who was without doubt a tough pragmatic professional footballer and intelligent pundit both for Arsenal England and MOD. Simply an honest pleasant nice guy 😊😊😊
Absolutely enjoyed that episode well done guys and Martin a top guy on and off the pitch. Always love listening to him and the amount of respect in the comments here is fantastic to read unlike the disrespect shown to him on other platforms namely talksport !
Great interview- Martin was a great player who had the opportunity to play with outstanding talents at Arsenal. I miss those days so much. The game today is so sanitized and wimpy compared to those times.
Respek Keown. Proper Oxford. He used to come in to visit our school in the early 1990s, St Augustine's, he went to the same school but was about 10 years before us.
Absolutely enjoyed these guys, played it, injured through it, honest brokers who I look up to. All knowledgeable and breath of fresh air, listening to football legends.
Just brilliant! I was reflecting at the one hour playtime at first - ooh, one hour is too long... But I started watching and when it ended it felt like way too short. Thanks ❤
What a player Martin Keown was ! Hard as bloody nails and no one was getting by him ! I've no idea why talksport and Lineker here even try mess wi him 😂, Thanks for the memories Martin, we were desperate for you and Wrighty to come to Celtic 💚💛
Never realized how much Martin looks like Emi Martinez.... That also would be a great interview from the goalkeepers aspect. (fingers crossed) also as a Chelsea fan, i look forward to getting Martins autobiography for Christmas. Absolute legend
I never forgave Keown for selecting Tainted Love on Radio 1 during Euro 92. Interesting, Southall didn't drink, and in his autobiography, he stated Keown drove the established players up the wall with his neurosis and self-doubt.
Keown was such an underrated defender. To break into that Arsenal defence when he returned to the club showed his ability. He was brilliant in the 98 title winning team. Should’ve stayed at Arsenal in the 80s he would’ve been an even bigger legend than Tony Adams lasting all the way through to the Invincibles season.
First time watching your channel and regardless of what was said by David Coote, I am very pleased with the main presenter on the left. A very adult view and in my opinion, the right way to view it. They're all human, don't cancel the guy because of this. Looking at the results he officiated in the only loss was Arsenal in February so I completely agree with the presenter on the right, where he said someone has sat on this videeo and timed it's release accordingly. YNWA ❤
I disagree, I'd rate him higher than Southgate. England managers love leaving out some of their best players, one of the reasons why we haven't won anything since 1966. Keown was a great club player, his second spell at Arsenal 310 matches, when they were competing with Manchester United, speaks for itself.
Love ❤️ Martin Keown met him in the toilet 🚻 at Marylebone Station asked him if he was going to the Arsenal game he said no that he had a dodgy eye 🤔 2 days later he's on Tv doing the FA cup Draw 😅😊
After watching and disliking, but grudgingly respecting Keown as a player for so many years, it makes me really happy to see what a genuinely nice bloke he is.
But an absolute 🍩
@@samprizeman4509Why?
@@LovenArtiste you obviously haven’t heard him talking absolute bollox on talkSport.
His book should make a good read though
@@samprizeman4509 Ohhhh right. Fair enough 😂. I never watch that channel
@@samprizeman4509 like youve never had any opinions mr perfect grow up
Three ex-players who played together and against each at a top level. Fantastic interview.

As an older Man u supporter, I'm sad i got to witness the 1998 and Invincible teams play live lol.
And you still chose to support that rubbish team lol
Well i saw it and you're right, They were a brick wall with fantastic movement going forward.. Hated it as a Toon fan 🤣🤣
This was one of the best episodes yet, great interview.
What an episode. Mr. Keown is one the toughest, grittiest, consistent central defenders the premier league and Arsenal have ever seen.
And like many others, I too pine for 80’s/90’s/2000’s era of football where players were creative, spontaneous and enjoyed the beautiful game.
Ahh back when a player's first thought wasn't how to win a freekick or waste time. Far better times.
I'm a Liverpool fan and I never liked Martin as a player because he was hard as nails and I knew our forwards would get a battering. He's a fantastic pundit and this interview was amazing, what a TOP MAN!

Some of my favourite ever players were in that Arsenal side.
Bergkamp, Henry, Wright great times.
Martin was 38 during the invincible season and did his part. It's unfortunate that Mr Arsenal (Adams) left in 2002 and couldn't become an invincible! What a time to be alive. I was in high school.
Watching Martin Keown defend with Tony Adams was a joy. One of the best defenders in the history of premier league. A real legend.
Biased as an Arsenal fan, but a superb interview and insight, I connect with Martin being passionate & principled which probably enhances his intensity and competitiveness. ❤
Loved watching Martin at Arsenal, glorious years❤
This is so brilliant to watch, the chemistry and respect between you three is so clear. Thank you for giving us this kind of insight.
Outstanding interview with Martin!!! I love how you all talk about how the game was in the 80’s/90’s
This kind of interview makes me crave for football in the 80s, 90s and the early 2000s, and clearly those older than me would wish earlier than that. But that was what I grew up with, especially as an Arsenal fan. Proper players with skills. Money, stats and data have ruined football. Even as an Arsenal fan, players like JJ Okocho were a pleasure to watch at Bolton. Would an Okocho be successful in today's Premier League? I doubt it. Players were proper players back then, now they're just glorified athletes.
Why wouldn’t Okocha be successful in today’s premier league? He’d end up at Chelsea/Man City and would probably be even better with talent around him.
There’s something about the era you grew up with that sticks with you.
Mid-late 90’s football is the era that I get most nostalgic for.
@@Rafflewafflez He wouldn't, Okocho's talent was his skill and his footballing brain. But he wouldn't have the stats for City. He was too laid back in his style, teams would have to carry him.
Money has always been a part of football, it's the most popular sport in the world. The difference with back then is it wasn't as documented as it is now.
@@Cristobal_2012 Apologies, yes, Okocha! Not a name I type every day.
Fantastic eye-opening interview. I kind of feel sad gor him all the struggles he went through; but he sure came good and became a true Arsenal legend.
Mr Keown is an extremely informed and articulate speaker. It's why Simon Jordan doesn't like him
1. This is nothing to do with Simon Jordan.
2. Simon is FAR more articulate you simply cannot dispute that.
3. Keown is a very biased contributor to tv and radio.
Fair point. I’m actually a big Simon Jordan fan. Martin does seem to get under his skin.
@@DenverBK1980 Its for the ratings. They argue on purpose.
@@DenverBK1980 Articulate? An analysis piece for MOTD I saw him do was literally "look at this ... Pass, bang bang bang, goal!"
No there was no context, that was it. One of the worst pundits going.
Behave yourself. Keown talks bollox
Thank you, Martin!

Super Martin Keown ❤❤❤
Matin Keown was a true gentleman - a stunning interview
I don't think he's ever been accused of being a gentleman. He was a tough lad in his playing days
Get out the comments Martin
An amazing interview, I rate Keown and such good banter as always. Excellent

Absolutely enjoyed that episode well done guys and Martin a top guy on and off the pitch. Always love listening to him and the amount of respect in the comments here is fantastic to read unlike the disrespect shown to him on other platforms namely talksport !
Great interview- Martin was a great player who had the opportunity to play with outstanding talents at Arsenal. I miss those days so much. The game today is so sanitized and wimpy compared to those times.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this since I'm not an arsenal fan or a big fan of Keown on Talksport but I thoroughly enjoyed this interview.
Think the problem is that Jordan takes over
Respek Keown. Proper Oxford. He used to come in to visit our school in the early 1990s, St Augustine's, he went to the same school but was about 10 years before us.
Comes over really well on this. One of the best interviews they have done.
Brilliant interview. Being a United fan I never paid attention to Keown. But blimey what an interesting chap
Loved this. Great Episode.
Martin Keown. A true warrior.
Arsenal legend ❤
A proper Arsenal legend, not a fake runners up trophy legend like the Arsenal players of today🤣
Superb interview, among your best ever surely. More💪
Absolutely enjoyed these guys, played it, injured through it, honest brokers who I look up to.
All knowledgeable and breath of fresh air, listening to football legends.
What an excellent chat. I’ll be picking up Martin’s book.
Keowns book is just...'i must kill Van Nistelrooy, i must kill Van Nistelrooy',, over & over, both sides on all 320 pages 😂
He kind of did that, 1 non-penalty goals in 12 games vs Arsenal.
Great interview..thanks…this is a great channel/stream….always so interesting! And so funny!..Love it! Thanks to all involved!!
Definitely buying book. Love Keown
TY another great interview
Man Utd fan here... Hated the guy with a passion, but what a superb individual off the pitch. Great interview guys
An hour long podcast!
Awesome guys!❤🎉
Just brilliant! I was reflecting at the one hour playtime at first - ooh, one hour is too long... But I started watching and when it ended it felt like way too short. Thanks ❤
Spoke very openly without crossing the line. Came across very well.
Martin is a legend, well respected here in Scotland ❤
Keown there’s only one Keown…one of my all time favourite Arsenal players
Brilliant interview. Massive respect to Martin.
Adams, Keown, Rocastle, Thomas, Merson Arsenal’s golden generation, all home grown players 🏆
As a player he was brilliant, as a pundit I never really thought much of him but this interview shows that he is a nice guy and does speak well.
Thumbs up well good watch best one yet 👍 👌 😂. Keep up the good work fellas coming from big Arsenal fans here.
So didn't know Martin, great chat and insight, loved this show.
What a player Martin Keown was ! Hard as bloody nails and no one was getting by him ! I've no idea why talksport and Lineker here even try mess wi him 😂, Thanks for the memories Martin, we were desperate for you and Wrighty to come to Celtic 💚💛
Never realized how much Martin looks like Emi Martinez.... That also would be a great interview from the goalkeepers aspect. (fingers crossed) also as a Chelsea fan, i look forward to getting Martins autobiography for Christmas. Absolute legend
Brilliant stuff. Great fella.
Loved that interview. Hope you do many more.
that was brilliant; just wished i could've seen Martin play during his prime.
Shades of David Brent in Keown!!!
He’s great but he does come across very Brent like in his autobiography
I never forgave Keown for selecting Tainted Love on Radio 1 during Euro 92. Interesting, Southall didn't drink, and in his autobiography, he stated Keown drove the established players up the wall with his neurosis and self-doubt.
One of the best defenders around at the time.
Keown was such an underrated defender. To break into that Arsenal defence when he returned to the club showed his ability. He was brilliant in the 98 title winning team. Should’ve stayed at Arsenal in the 80s he would’ve been an even bigger legend than Tony Adams lasting all the way through to the Invincibles season.
I’ve met Martin in two random locations in London. Both times I met him, he’s been nothing but classy. A tad quiet but a nice guy.
The best one yet !!
Another great episode 🙏
Really good interview, a really fascinating person

What an absolute diamond of a bloke and great footballer Mr Martin Keown!
Certainly NOT a great footballer. A brutal defender who was useless on the ball.
Gary, I shall really miss you on Match of the Day.
Have just subscribed to your podcast.
Thanks for everything.
Kind regards,
Ian
Thanks for this Martin!
Really good episode this
Genuinely really interesting listen.
That was a belter - proper football talk.
Don't always agree with Martin, but what a top fella great interview guys! well done!!
You really get to know Keown in this episode
I enjoyed that a lot more than I expected to tbh
Really enjoyed this. Known was quality at Villa, but the Everton move put me off him a bit. Nice to hear his story. Solid bloke.
Great man a credit to the game 👍
Martin Keown, what a legend ❤
Love it, bring more former players on
One of the true characters in football.
Wonderful wonderful pod guys! 👌
Fantastic episode 😊
Great interview a key figure in 80s 90s football
That was great... thank you...... makes us all think about getting older maybe....
fucking hated keown as a player, im a liverpool fan, but he has always seemed a nice stand up fella off the pitch.
great video guys!
martin keown.... a man with ideas above his station.....
I disagree, I'd rate him higher than Southgate. England managers love leaving out some of their best players, one of the reasons why we haven't won anything since 1966. Keown was a great club player, his second spell at Arsenal 310 matches, when they were competing with Manchester United, speaks for itself.
@ talking more about how he conducts himself as an analyst/ pundit… guy thinks he’s far more of an intellectual then he is.
Excellent guys😉
Keown is a marmite player, you either love him or hate him, and tough as hell. Seems like a good bloke to, a good player for sure in his day.
What a brilliant hour
Brilliant. Good old Cloughie 😂
I love keown on talkSPORT white and Jordan I love the spirited debate they have
Great interview
Love ❤️ Martin Keown met him in the toilet 🚻 at Marylebone Station asked him if he was going to the Arsenal game he said no that he had a dodgy eye 🤔 2 days later he's on Tv doing the FA cup Draw 😅😊
Proper professional was/is Keown 👊🏻
Hasn’t even been 1 minute and there’s already banter 😂
It's the worst part. It's a bit golf clique.
Great episode, yet again. On a side note, anyone ID that hoodie Gaz is wearing?
