Martin Keown has released his first official autobiography, On The Edge, and you can meet our iconic defender and have a copy signed by the man himself following the Nottingham Forest match on Saturday!
The book lifts the lid on our legendary centre-back's eventful life and career, from his earliest schooldays as a young Gunner to his time as an Invincible. Martin's time as a player spanned more than two decades, winning three Premier League titles and earning 43 caps for England.
"It was so enjoyable to look back on what an honour it was to play and represent The Arsenal," said Martin. "From playing for the youth team, then the reserves and finally the first team, I played alongside and against some of the Premier League's all-time greats under the guidance of George Graham and Arsene Wenger.
"I hope readers will enjoy learning of my upbringing, where my working-class Irish parents taught me to look after myself and it was those strong principles that took me on a journey away from Arsenal but then back again to ultimately achieve three Premier League titles, three FA Cups and becoming an Invincible.
"Whilst I hope all football fans will enjoy reading or listening to my book, I know there’s one fanbase that will enjoy it more than any other!"
To celebrate the release of On The Edge, supporters will have the chance to meet Martin at a special book signing in The Armoury on Saturday, November 23, following the Premier League clash with Forest at Emirates Stadium.
The event will take place for two hours immediately after full-time, with copies of the book available to purchase - so make sure to pop by!
