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.

Workrate, vision, pace, sublime finishing and tenacity all rolled into one, Ian Wright. . . Legend!

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.

wow, this guy is one of the best players ever to step onto a football pitch, shame i never got to see him play in an arsenal shirt. every one of these goals was just pure magnificence. true football and arsenal legend

He made scoring look simple.a legend

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.

best player in UK at his time

Damn! this man was and is a legend! Wow! didnt watch the Arsenal during his playing days but boy this was a pure natural finisher with a lot of class..just amazing what he did with his left foot, right foot and head..his skills were off the hook and he moved with lightening speed..am sure he struck fear into so many defenders and scored so many breathtaking goals..fearless..no wonder his goal scoring stood for such a long time until Thierry Henry eclipsed him..note also all the Bergkamp assists

The most entertaining footballer I have ever seen..ON TV...specialy his intro's...his haircuts...and of course his goals.

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.

still my favorite player of all time

Absolutely sensational... wow

Somedays you just couldn't believe what you'd seen and have to wait until MOTD for a replay. I was right behind the goal for the triple lob v Everton and everyone went nuts. When the game finally kicked off again, there was a spontaneous outburst of applause starting in the North Bank that swept around the stadium and the great man took a bow to us all. Great day. Really felt for Southall though, no chance whatsoever.

Some real finishers back in the day, real pure strikers, like Ruud, henrik larsson, Henry, just a real goal scorer that didnt fuck up half their shots

Really wish I was old enough back then to be an Arsenal fan.

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.

I guess the problem of entitled egocentrism is not an exclusively European one.

I have always been a fan of this guy, just loved the passion he showed playing the game, makes me sound like an old man (at the ripe old age of 28!) but you just don't get his sort any more. You can really see the work he put into his whole game from this clip it's a shame that we didn't see more of Wright in an England shirt. I've also seen that recent interview on how he became a pro footballer and it makes me admire him all the more. Great video and love the music too.

Wrighty was absoultely special, because he was so clinical with his finishing, as well as his all-round strength, what a man.

One of the greatest ever to play the game.

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.
