What REALLY Happened At The Battle Of Old Trafford | Martin Keown Interview

‘I don’t regret ANYTHING!’ Martin Keown on Van Nistelrooy, Man United and the Battle of Old Trafford. It's 20 years since Martin Keown and Ruud van Nistelrooy locked horns.

Old Trafford, September 21, 2003. It was the escalation of years of intense rivalry between the two best teams in the county and, after Van Nistelrooy missed a late penalty in the 0-0 draw, Keown's taunting celebration earned him a reputation and created one of the Premier League's iconic images. This week, the cameras were rolling in our 'It's All Kicking Off' studio with podcast hosts Ian Ladyman and Chris Sutton, a former opponent of Keown's, firing in the questions. Keown – a Mail Sport columnist - dropped in to answer for his sins.
