Martin Keown recalls police wanting to arrest two Arsenal players at half-time

Martin Keown was hardly averse to a flashpoint or two during his career - but even he was never the subject of a police arrest during a match.

That's more than can be said for some of his Arsenal teammates it seems. The early stages of the Arsene Wenger era, distinguishable for revolutionary methods and a rarely seen scientific approach, weren't short on a bit of skullduggery either.

In fact, the Frenchman may have wondered whether is switch to England was wise in October that year after an uninspired 0-0 draw at Highbury against Ron Atkinson's Coventry City at Highfield Road. But that match was a memorable one for Keown and co for the half time action in the tunnel, rather than events on the pitch.
