	Scotsman.com Sport - Keown puts a case for his defence
		MARTIN Keown insists there is not a single "bad apple" in the Arsenal squad when defending the reputations of himself and the club following their loss of self-control at Old Trafford.
		Keown, along with Ashley Cole, Lauren, Jens Lehmann, Ray Parlour and captain Patrick Vieira, was charged by the Football Association with misconduct after the ugly scenes at Old Trafford, while Arsenal also face a count of failing to control their players.
		Keown was singled out for stinging criticism for goading Ruud van Nistelrooy after the Dutchman’s penalty miss in the dying seconds of the match and then celebrating in the face of the same player after the final whistle had gone, banging his elbow - albeit accidentally - into the back of his head.

	Martin Keown - England International Footballer - Football-Heroes.net
		Martin Keown fell into this category, although he took a little while to convince his many detractors after an early career with Arsenal, Aston Villa and Everton which had labelled him as a grafting stopper with no real class beyond his aggression.
		It was correct that Martin made the squad for Sweden - his form and the comfort he had shown in adapting to England's game merited it - though all of Taylor's defensive planning was shattered by the withdrawal through injury of all three of his specialist right backs.
		Keown ended up playing in all three group games but the latter brace he spent in the unfamiliar right back position and England were unceremoniously dumped from the tournament after two dismal goalless draws and a defeat to the host nation.
