My Life in Football

My Life in Football by Wright, Ian. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781472123589.

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER Wrightys characteristic honesty means his book is far more engrossing than most bland football memoirs Sunday Times Ian Wright, Arsenal legend, England striker and TV pundit extraordinaire, is one of the most interesting and relevant figures in modern football. His journey from a South London council estate to national treasure is everybodys dream. From Sunday morning football directly to Crystal Palace; from boring, boring Arsenal to inside the Wenger Revolution; from Saturday afternoons on the pitch to Saturday evenings on primetime television; from a week in prison to inspiring youth offenders, Ian will reveal all about his extraordinary life and career. Ian will also frankly discuss how retirement affects footballers, why George Graham deserves a statue, social media, why music matters, breaking Arsenals goal-scoring record, racism, the unadulterated joy of playing alongside Dennis Bergkamp and, of course, what he thinks of Tottenham. Not a standard footballers autobiography, Ian Wrights memoir is a thoughtful and gripping insight into a Highbury Hero and one of the greatest sports stars of recent years.
