The Wright Stuff: An Unauthorized Biography of Ian Wright

by rick-glanvill

Ian Wright is one of the English game's great football heroes. He is an England international and the leading marksman and trophy-winner for Arsenal. Yet he also regularly collects yellow cards, and is rarely out of the headlines.From humble beginnings to the heights of international stardom, this is the story of the rise of a boy from South London who has as many enemies as he has friends; of a role model who never forgot his roots; of a superstar, hungry for success, but almost denied the chance to play professional football by blatant discrimination and his own hot-headedness.

As insightful and imaginative as a shopping list. I received this book in my Christmas stocking shortly after its release. Being an avid Crystal Palace and Ian Wright fan I was excited at the prospect of reading it. The sense of excitement was shortlived, though in its defence it is a very short book and so the pain though acute is not prolonged.
