After backing Shaw for an England recall in his Daily Mail column, Keown wrote: "I first watched him as a 16-year-old playing on a training pitch for Southampton against Reading. In the first 10 seconds, he whipped a ball across the box with such power and precision that I just thought, ‘Wow.’
"I was standing next to an Arsenal scout and I immediately said, ‘You’ve got to sign him.’
