Martin Keown has admitted that he used to pinch Chris Sutton during his playing days at Arsenal, after the former Blackburn star revealed the defender did everything he could to get under his skin.
When prompted by Daily Mail Football Editor Ian Ladyman to respond to Sutton's claims, the Gunners legend joked that he could always 'dominate' the striker by getting 'under his skin'.
Keown, who marshalled Arsenal to three Premier League titles in 1998, 2002 and 2004, revealed to Sportsmail that he used to 'draw out venom' from his opponents by frequently jabbing at them on the pitch.
