@@Lemon-yf1cv Not sure about just intriguing, however 100% fascinating and then some as myself and I'm sure other poor aspiring black (yeah, I said it!) footballers could identify with.

An inspiration to young people, never quit. I am listening to these amazingly detailed recounts and I am welling up emotionally in your pain and then smiling in your reward. When people used to say Wrighty is a bighead or a show off that is because they didn't know what you went through to get to where you are. Top man Ian, you earned everything you have and you are worthy of the term Legend 👏👏👏

Absolute legend Wrighty... bumped into you outside the Amex, got a photo and made our day!! Brightons loss, but your saw good in Fossy. Palace and Arsenal's gain. 💪🏽💥

IAN WRIGHT WRIGHT WRIGHT!!!!

just when you think you can’t love this dude any more than you do...👌🏿

I’m 50 next week but It’s your passion for the game that has me even to this day picking my boots up and going out to play footy. When people talk about the beautiful game I think of you and how you are the epitome of our game, the passion, the love and pure joy (and heartache) that we all watch you go through when you’re a pundit on TV for the England games, it’s like you’ve always been one our mates down the pub. 👍. You’re also a true gent, you used to come into Parcelforce depot sometimes at Mitcham to pick up your parcels, always smiling. Bless you man. 🤘

Ian, all of that stuff in the past made you the man you are now, a wonderful human being that we all love

I definetely think race had a massive part to play in Ian Wright going through the fuckery he went through.... If Ian Wright was blonde with blue eyes he would have been the greatest thing ever

Wayne Marshall These Experiences have happened 1000’s of times !! No colour involved !! many youths have been through the torment of rejection and indifference from clubs !! It was when they started to play Supporters who were racist baited them but even then fans around them took them on and the minority were slapped down !! This happened in Europe as well but lasted longer and still happens now on a mass basis !! Wrighty is not only a great player but also a great man 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I disagree today’s Ian Wright is Jamie vardy similar player and scenario he was overlooked for years. I think using race is weak

I would just love to sit down with you and just talk for hours about football- it's your honesty and passion that just shine through.

My respect to you Mr. Wright - s/o from Jamaica 🇯🇲

Think this highlights everything that was wrong with my club at the time. Credit Steve Foster for displaying the behaviours which made him such a great professional and club captain. Ultimately it was Brighton's loss and Palace's gain. My club has certainly come a long way since then. Ian Wright legend!

Thanks for sharing that, Wrighty. And thanks to Steve Foster for what he did too. Also for Palace for having the faith in you to offer you a 4th trial after you turning them down three times. All of those experiences helped to shape your legend. As a London kid growing up in the 80's and 90's, from a Sunday League background, who also LOVED his Diadora boots, knowing of your journey to Palace and then to Arsenal and England, were always my inspiration whenever I kicked a football.

The way you tell your stories are so detailed you can picture it. 👌🏻 Amazing!

Sometimes I think we just need a platform to show the world who we are, I watch your videos and subscribe to your channel because of who you are Uncle Wrighty, you're a great man and an inspiration to my whole generation. Your content is great, we all wanna hear what you have to say but we also wanna see you winning just being you and that's the beauty of the struggle....I take inspiration from you and others to work hard and get that platform one day, like a rose from the concrete.

I can listen to him all day. He is a true gentleman.

My favourite player at Arsenal he was brilliant the passion my second to none top man

Good things don’t come easy. You have made history and your kids have done and doing same. You are an incredible man. Seeing you talk just makes me happy. God bless your soul.

Always love listening to your stories.. legend of the game ❤

This is a truly amazing story just shows with enough hard work and not giving up we can all achieve the things we want its never too late.

Jesus your videos are a tonic. Passion and honesty. Epic.

Always good to hear Wrightys outlook, i met him a few times with the 1st time at London Colney around 94 i remember as a Dj i was curious at what he was listening to which he replied Gloworms 'Carry Me Home' The 2nd time was even more special at a Pro/Celebrity golf match in Surrey with Lee Dixon when the news broke Sol Campbell had signed for Arsenal. To top it all Gary Lineker was there too and his face when i spoke about it will always stay with me!

So inspirational, thank you for sharing this Wrighty

Shed a tear by hearing the details Top man wrighty

I love this platform. The interviews are honest and incredible . It shows a true insight into the life of Ian Wright and the man he is and the man he has become. Building blocks to what makes you a legend . Thank you for your services to Arsenal and especially what you have done for football . We thank you ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

Great content! Loving the channel!

Jesus Christ I could watch him all day brilliant

Love the latest videos though and see that your improving on your videos every week

Wonderful to hear how you battled against all the odds to make it, thank goodness Palace pursued you. You've brought so much happiness to fans through your career, very inspiring and definitely the best striker I have ever seen. More power to you, keep the dream alive and keep being a great bloke. Football and life needs legends and heroes like you.

Such a damn legend, and huge inspiration. Love you Wrighty

Wrighty your a legend , some of the things inspired me so much and as a 16 year old this will really help me and also the Crystal Palace story was so interesting

You should change your name to "Ian Humble Wright" Mr.Wright! Such beautiful stories and what a humble way to present it.

Best video yet

That story made me a tad emotional

Ian Wright you are an inspiration on and off the football pitch

love this channel ian wright is a true legend

Quality story. More of that please Ian (wright wright wright).

With Ian Wright there is no black or white just a humble man who'll score every night.. Love you Wrighty!!!!

With all due respect king I'm a Liverpool fan from 87 yes John Barns made it happen (lol) but I must say this unequivocally that ur one of the REALEST black footballer ever yu kept it real iyah

top class!

Legend on and off the field in so many ways

When you think of Arsenal you think of Ian Wright it's as simple as that. Ian Wright IS Arsenal!!

Great stories

YES MANY ARE CALLED, BUT FEW ARE CHOSEN... THAT IN IT'S SELF IS GREATNESS.

From my experiences, most things start working out the moment you feel like giving up, that's when you get the unexpected phone call but this is from my personal experiences. Constant rejection will have an affect on anyone's motivation to succeed. Some people keep pursuing even when their motivation is gone and they eventually get a foot in the door even if it's not in their desired position. Others get lucky first time but have short careers by messing up due to bad attitude. The harsh reality is there are people who are qualified and extremely talented but will always be rejected or go unnoticed because they don't fit a company's brand image and the person with no qualification or talent will be chosen because of how they look. This happens a lot in the music industry and shows like X-Factor encourage this.

✌❤ wrighty you mean so much to so many people that you just dont know. Growing up as a young black footballer in Scandinavia, we had very little to look up to..you and cole offered that.

Ian, you still represent the people because even though football has obviously made you a successful man, you never forget your roots. History will reference you as an icon who transcended barriers. Nuff respect. PS: Did you always have elaborate goal celebrations? Even before you turned pro?

I have so much respect for Patrick Vieira as an Irish man. When he stood up for Roy Keane a few months ago he knew what it was like to grow up dealing with shite like that

I could listen to Wrighties stories all day long, what a player!

an inspiration

Iam reading your autobiography awesome story

My first football top was The Arsenal 94 95 home kit inspired by Ian Wright

Legend 😍

Inspirational

soooo close to having a legend play for Brighton

Powerful

Ian, really enjoying your channel mate. Can't wait to watch your new documentary out of their skin. If you or anyone knows how to watch this in North America please let me know. P.S I'm a Southampton fan and paid $1.50 to see your debut ....cheers for that lol :)

IAN WRIGHT THE GENERAL

Shows when you perserve good things happen COYG ian wright ian wright ian wright.

Ian Wright is a national treasure - I love the man. And I'm a big Brighton supporter so I don't say that lightly.

Very inspiring…..

Early bird catches the umm.. latest upload!

Palace. ARSENAL England legend

🙌🏽👏🏽

Too top bloke 👍🏽

My God! I'm in tears myself. Not just because I can identify with Ian and this particular experience, but also the source of the kindness. Truly heartwarming and a reminder of how you should treat people. Footnote: Who the hell are these people to 'dislike' this video?? Go get a life. Shame on you.

First 😁 love you wrighty afc forever

Great personal story Ian Wright! You are a great inspiration and have tremendous determination and courage. Despite all you said in the video I'm very impressed with the action Steve Foster took in getting your expenses from Brighton Football Club. I wonder if that was an incompetence issue or racial? Can you still plaster a wall or are those skills forgotten?!

My favourite player

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Crystal palace arsenal legend.

Steve Foster is a legend at BHAFC.

Give this man an MBE...if he wants it! ☺️

Sorry you got bad treatment at Brighton , but I think it shows Steve Foster in a good light , I think he was a good guy who cared when others didn’t.

Anyone else spot unai emery at 4:13 👀

It angers me as Brighton fan that we never gave you a proper chance..

🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵⚪️🔵⚪️

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke...

We turned down Roy Keane too.

Mate you should NOT have been dropped from Arsenal when you was..Even then I was annoyed at decisions ,substitutions etc.. You should have had more years at Arsenal . Your inclusion in an Arsenal side , even if you didn't play was immense and for me your personality alone would be worth putting you on a plane , anywhere around the players then or now because you oosed Arsenal you ooze winning , but fuck it what;s done is done and you'll always be an Arsenal legend forever.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaalbion...

Sorry Ian you almost made it at Brighton, but had to settle for Palarse, what a disaster. BHAFC. Steve Foster was a great player I saw him play for England in the World cup for England.

Always annoying that Charlton never signed you even more annoying that palace snapped you up
