[@boosra]

Everyone likes to think their club legends were the best at something - but Wright really is a credible shout for best PURE finisher of all time. During most of his career Arsenal were ideologically opposed to chances for either team. Every week was a grim physical war with no opportunities at all, and every week he would score from a single quarter of a chance. 1-0 to the Arsenal. Tap-ins, Headers, Volleys, 1v1s, Rockets, Lobs, Solos, every type of improvised finish under the sun, and all done with a kind of...glee.

[@goyonman9655]

Legend

[@fiachra4266]

and that he could finish so well in every way with either foot. Best ever.

[@HallvarBTW]

Probably the most lethal striker we ever had, if Ian came 1on1 with the goal keeper you knew he would score 99% of the time

[@2005peasah]

Undoubtely the greatest ever all-time goal conqurer for the Arsenal. Wrighty was absoutely top class. Whenever he has the ball, then you know it ends up in the net. Wrighty was the greatest ever Arsenal goal finisher ever and that's a fact.

[@Wally-H]

The chip against Swindon at 1.13 is still the best I've ever seen. The keeper was barely off his line. If I remember rightly, Arsenal were already about 4 - 0 up so I guess he thought he would show off and give it a try. Ridiculous skill.

[@arsenewenger8702]

I watch this at least once a month. He was and STILL is the best finisher. How many of goals were from absolutely nothing? A hopeful ball over the top maybe and he scampers onto it with strength and pace and balance, ball glued to his feet. Just unreal player and does not even get close to the credit he deserves as up there with the greats. People say players like Raul are legends, and they definitely are. But WRight is much better!

Even more amazing that he was 28 when he came to Arsenal, and was a lone striker for most of his time at the club. Even Bergkamp said that when he got the the club he was amazed at how many goals Wright could score since he was all alone up front. Workrate, vision, pace, sublime finishing and tenacity all rolled into one, Ian Wright. . . Legend!

[@tomskinner7159]

One of the best strikers to grace the English game, was always shafted and underrated because he played for the most hated club in England, far better than Shearer and all the other chumps who started for England around that period. Shearer was a yes man, that's what the corrupt FA like, Wright was outspoken and didn't hesitate to speak his mind and they didn't like that.

Wrighty has always been my favourite... not just a great player but a great personality too. He cracks me up on Absolute FM and was legendary on Top Gear too! His time at Arsenal were some of our best golden years.

[@worldlyconcerns]

I'm here the morning after Gabriel Martinelli became the first Arsenal player since Wrighty to score in each of his first four starts for the club. Now if he can only continue to emulate this utter LEGEND.

[@otaviofrnazario]

As a brazilian, I hope Gabriel Martinelli grab the opportunities by the horns. He already scored in his first premiership start. More than that, I hope he can keep his mind straight and free from shit. Many brazilian players tend to lose themselves in alcohol, women and parasite friends, especially when the expectation is very high. The expectation on him wasn't that high though. He was grown in the academy of a small club here in Brazil, named Ituano (their president played in the premiership, Juninho Paulista. Has idol status among the Middlesborough fanbase). He was playing in the biggest tournament for academy players in the country 11 months ago. He is more known now than he was at the beginning of the year, which is uncommon, considering he is in a famous, historical club of Europe. Arsenal found a true jewel. I hope you can work him well, and I hope he can value himself higher than distractions.

[@worldlyconcerns]

@@otaviofrnazario Thanks, Otavio, it's great to get the perspective of a thoughtful Brazilian football lover. Brazilian football will always have a special place in my heart: the first world cup I remember is Mexico 1970, when of course I fell in love with that wonderful Brazilian team. And again in 1982. In those media-poor times, it felt like football from another planet.

[@otaviofrnazario]

@@worldlyconcerns you're welcome man. I didn't got to see any, I'm from the penta (portuguese word for 5th title) generation. But I've heard the histories from my grandpa about 70 and my dad about 82. More so, the coach of 82, Tele Santana, made my club from the heart, São Paulo FC, win the world. We beat a Cruyff coached Barcelona squad, with Stoichkov running the attack, and a Milan with Maldini, Baresi, Costacurta that was European Champion almost every year thanks to his football vision. Nowadays, figures like him are missed very much in our game (he passed 12 years ago). Our players, especially the ones raised by the youth academies of major clubs, are cocky as hell now. Don't accept the training of fundamentals, only think about status and hair styles and are, in general, poorly formed. Always with a fucked up dad or agent in his back, so the little "angel" can do no wrong (irony here)

[@worldlyconcerns]

​@@otaviofrnazario Interesting you should say that, ​Otávio. Around the time he brought Alexis Sanchez to Arsenal, I remember hearing Arsene Wenger say he thought the best strikers come out of South America these days because they typically have had to struggle against the odds to succeed in an era when many European players have opportunity handed to them on a plate. I guess the problem of entitled egocentrism is not an exclusively European one.

Great video, and what a player. Unlucky to play in a team going through transition from 92-96, where he still scored a shitload of goals. Henry overshadowed him in terms of goals, and he was a better all round player, but had Wright been in the 97-02 team he would have scored silly amounts of goals. In recent years he's been a bit chippy about Arsenal and the results of the club, but one thing that always comes across is his love for the club. A legend.

I know many people won't agree but I've always thought the goal he scored against Swindon was his greatest (1.13). Anyone who has played the game knows how high the level of precision is that you need to chip a goalie who wasn't even that far off his line. The turn on a sixpence and finish is just incredible. It's a chip with real pace in it too, which makes it even harder to execute.

What's your point? Pele is black and so are Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Henry, Thuram, Davids, Eusebio etc, etc. You're really saying Ian Wright is not a legend just because he is BLACK and BRITISH? That does not make any sense, a lot of english players in this national team are black.

[@latin1988AC]

Lucaz99 lol. I said Black British. Not black. I can't be asked to explain tbh. His stats and special circumstances should mean that he should be just as cherished as the likes of Gary Lineker and Paul Gascoigne. But he isnt so I can only assume the obvious. But despite that, you are right.

[@joshr920]

Are you kidding me? Let's be real here Ian Wright scored a lot of goals in a pretty weak PL, (Norwich and Villa finished 2nd and 3rd in 93) the PL back in the early/mid 90s was pretty average, no English team came close to competing for the CL back then. If Wright was so good why did he only play for England 33 times? I'm not hating on him, he was a very good player for one of the biggest teams in England but to put his name along side with Pele, both Ronaldo's, Messi and Maradona is vastly overrating him.

[@Arsenal4lyphe]

Josh R your argument is absolutely weak wright deserve to be mentioned I the same breath as those players.. you saying that villa and Norwich finishing in the top 4 that year showed how weak the league was is a bad analysis villa was a top side in those days same for Norwich you judge them by their standards now...

[@joshr920]

Are you honestly saying Ian Wright deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Pele and Maradona? Honestly? I'm a United fan but I'll admit Giggs, Keane, Schloles, Cantona don't deserve to be named with Pele and Maradona and them 4 players were better than Ian Wright. Obviously Norwich and Villa were decent sides back in the early 90's but they weren't that good even back then, if you stuck Norwich and Villa of 92/93 in today's premier league they'd probably be fighting relegation than challenging for the title.
