Thanks to being a writer for this wonderful site, I’ve been able to meet some of my Arsenal heroes. Men who performed wonders on the Highbury pitch and immediately daubed their own markings upon my memory banks. I was lucky enough to meet and question Ray Parlour and Nigel Winterburn last season. These men will be forever scarred by my no holds barred approach and fanboy-esque fawnings but no one can take away my memories of speaking directly to these icons who I placed on a pedestal. Not even the Court with their troublesome restraining orders.

Martin Keown is one of the finest defenders to grace the Premier League. Nicknamed 'The Rash', due to his proficiency in man-marking, his two spells for The Arsenal amassed over 400 appearances. Beloved by fans for not only the accolades he earned, but the fiery embers of passion which were the fuel for his displays on the pitch, Keown is among the leading lights when it comes to Gunners players.
