Martin Keown Learns Perils of Sideline Reporting, Takes Errant Shot Off Head (Video)

Martin Keown made plenty of headers during his 14 years playing for Arsenal. But his latest showed that he might be slighty unfamiliar with the dimensions at the Emirates Stadium.

Keown was working for ESPN as an analyst on its pregame show (with Rebecca Lowe and Robbie Savage) when an errant ball came his way. The ball hit him in the back of his head while he was in the middle of answering a question.

The longtime Arsenal defender smiled and gave the offender a thumbs up.
