A Wright treat

I’ve never been a great fan of Ian Wright. His over the top antics always seemed to annoy me.
He always appeared too excitable and sometimes I couldn’ t work out where he was coming from.
But I’ve changed my mind. The former Arsenal player, who is up at Royal Birkdale working for Talk Sport, was a treat to watch and listen to as he enjoyed some banter with the fans at the side of the practice putting green
The discussion was about would Ronaldo stay at Man United. In Wright’s opinion, it was no coincidence that he’s just had his operation now.
It means that he will miss the beginning of the season and it will give Fergie the opportunity to see how they do without him.
If they struggle, then he doubts he will let him go but if they do well, then he will grab the cash and say cheerio. Anyway, that’s Wright’s opinion.
As they were talking, a young journalist asked if there was any chance of a word for the local paper. Wright said, yes, sure, but before he could say a word, his agent/manager, who was sitting next to him, said ’no way, he’s contracted to the Sun’.
Wright pleaded with him to be allowed to say something but his boss just said ’no way’. Wright then apologised to the youngster.
On the other end of the scale is Gary Lineker, who didn’t have a minute for the kids who kept calling his name.
