The Official KZbin channel of ex Crystal Palace, Arsenal & England striker Ian Wright.
From growing up in South London to the multiple unsuccessful trials and plans to give up playing, I signed my first professional contract with Crystal Palace a few months before my 22nd birthday. In 1991 I signed for Arsenal Football Club where I scored 185 goals in 288 appearances. I went on to play 581 league games, scoring 387 goals for seven clubs in England and Scotland, earning 33 caps for the English national team.
I am now fortunate enough to have a football broadcast career working for the BBC & ITV.
Some Career Achievements:
185 goals in 288 appearances for Arsenal (2nd all time leading goal scorer)
117 goals in 253 starts for Crystal Palace (leading post war goal scorer)
33 caps for England Men’s National Team
Premier League Winner (Arsenal): 97/98
Premier League Golden Boot (Arsenal): 91/92
FA Cup (Arsenal) : 92/93, 97/98
European Cup Winners' Cup (Arsenal): 93/94

I was at the training ground many years ago, in the days when you were allowed to approach the players in the car-park, I asked Mr Wright if he would pose for a photo with my step-daughter, even though he was in a hurry, he was out of his car spent loads of time with her and signed her number 8 shirt, I had it framed for her along with a couple of the photos of them together. It was on her bedroom wall until she left to go to Uni, it was the last thing to go in the van, and the first thing to go on her bedroom wall when we got there. She still treasures it to this day, and is still Arsenal barmy. Thanks Wrighty.

[@thezanzibarbarian5729]

Well deserved to one of the greatest players and men to ever wear an Arsenal shirt.

[@ace-paidinfull5240]

Be just a tiny bit positive, we will defo make such a signing again. But be honest, you said since wrighty you havent felt that way, after all the quality we have had to date? I know im a baby to you, but be realistic, and thats not taking anything away from wrighty

@@ace-paidinfull5240 it was honestly a huge deal for Arsenal fans at the time. He was the top striker in England back then. We might have made top quality (and comparatively more expensive) signings from other leagues since like Ozil and Sanchez, but Wright was an English player who was the best in the league, so we knew we were getting a guaranteed, great player. He didn’t disappoint either, he never sold out or quit respecting the club or the fans. Love that guy.
