| Wright joined the professional game at the age of 22 - a late developer. He scored bags of goals for Crystal Palace, before signing for Arsenal.
In his time at Arsenal, he was often thought of as the only man likely to score a goal for the club. As everyone involved in football knows, Arsenal had possibly the world's best defensive unit of the late 80's and most of the 90's. With one of your current legends nominations, Tony Adams leading it. Ian Wright was the man who would score the 'One' in the song, 'One - nil to the Arsenal'.
Ian Wright retired after winning the League and Cup double as Denis Bergkamp's partner, and he is currently Arsenal's all-time highest goalscorer, with almost 200 goals in all competitions. |
