Banned in September. Invincible by May.

Van Nistelrooy's penalty hit the bar in the last minute. Martin Keown, 37, jumped on his back — three-match ban, £20,000 fine, a record £175,000 for the club. Ugliest afternoon of a season nobody lost. Arsenal finished the league unbeaten. Keown played exactly ten games, the minimum for a medal; Wenger sent him on late in the final match to make sure he got one. Then let him go on a free.
