Ian Wright - Desert Island Discs

If you have a spare half hour this is well worth a listen. Changed my opinion of the man.

Totally agree- a very moving listen- tbf by his own admission he lost the plot when the success went to his head but he has mellowed into a very decent bloke

I enjoyed the listen, and I will search out more of the episodes to listen to. Thanks for the link.

I love Wrighty. Did anyone see that video where there surprised him with his old teacher who got him playing footie? Lovely.

Think that might be the first desert island discs I've ever listened to.
It's a great listen, cheers.

I've always been a huge fan of Ian Wright. One of my favourite strikers in the Premier League era.

I do like him but both him & Shearer post articles in the S*n. Puts me off.

But yeah, when he gets surprised by his teacher is a thing of beauty. Really wholesome.

Just got round to listening the DID show.
Very emotional and I had tears in my eyes at times listening to what he had to say.
The meeting with the ex teacher was especially poignant.
