"That image is on the back of my book, and below it are the words no regrets'," Keown tells FourFourTwo. "You can only make decisions on what is in front of you at that time, and at that time we felt really hard done by."
"Come 2003, and that game at Old Trafford when Ruud van Nistelrooy missed his late penalty, my emotions were laid bare. We felt that United were running football and you were lucky to get a free-kick there, let alone a penalty."
"You can say it's not sporting, but I didn't hit anyone; I jumped in front of someone and cheered." Keown emphasizes his emotional reaction, highlighting the context of the rivalry.
