harvey54 Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Giggling like a schoolgirl at Lineker's soppy jokes on Match of the Day. Love him and his refreshing attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifty Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 I much prefer watching pundits like Wright who might not always speak sense, but is passionate and enjoying himself still being involved in football, than people like Shearer who look like they are about to fall asleep. The best is watching Ian Wright in the studio when England are playing. He's up on the seat jumping around and on the head I think it was Clarence Seeforf!

Red Skin Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Fair play to Lineker for making the joke too. Ridiculous he faced an investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also came into football late and worked in the ‘real world’ - he gets football from both the average working class and as a footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesM Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 Really enjoyed watching him as a player too. A great goal scorer and a scorer of great goals. He was one of those players that came alive around the box. Plus, he liked to mix it up with the dark arts of football and could always rely on him for some for some top level shithousery. Should have had way more England caps than he did, Graham Taylor choosing to use Nigel Clough ahead of him?! He also had Lineker and Shearer to compete with.

Can’t help but love Wrighty. Just wrote this in the Afobe topic, but he was a proper striker. Just loved his enthusiasm & seems like a really top bloke. He is also a big Dasilva fan to boot!

A couple of years ago we had a guy visit who has won awards for teaching and now works as a motivational speaker. He used this video as part of his speech on "what makes a good teacher?" and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacker Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 If I could watch just one England game in a pub with Ian Wright I would die a very happy man.Complete legend.Proper football fan as well as incredible player who really came through the ranks the hardest way.When I despair so much about modern football,I cant give Wrighty too much respect.

I remember being in Luxembourg with England on a cold wet night and Wrighty trying to break through into England side was a sub He came round to warm up behind the goal during a drab game and the England fans started to sing his name For the next 10 mins he had the time of his life having a laugh and choreographing the England fans with the biggest grin ever One of my favourite England moments - he oozed energy and positivity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without watching it again I'm welling up just at the thought of it. The mutual respect and genuine affection between the 2 is just fantastic.
