Ian Wright

[jimmy two times]

I've always thought of him as quite brash, but he endeared himself to me in his new programme that was aired on Sky 1 last night. In it he goes into a youth offenders institute and coaches a team made up of these young errant lads. It was quite touching and he came across as a very down to earth, sensitive and articulate man.

[*Bob*]

I love him on 'The Wright Stuff' as well.

He speaks with genuine interest on a wide variety of subjects - hats off to him.

I like Ian Wright. Although I've never really been a fan of football I still like to imagine him bouncing all over the BBC's studio when England put one in the back of the net against Scotland whilst Alan Hansen stares blankly at the screen, controlling his rage for another day.

Can't stand the bastard. He went down at a game I was watching clutching the front of his head. He claimed to ref he'd been hit by a coin. Despite ref searching for ages he couldn't find anything. Wright then got off the ground clutching the back of his head.

The man's a liar and a cheat and not sporting and in my book should not be role model for kids.

Isn't that what they all do? Diving and play-acting at every opportunity?

Not very dignified, is it?

I might add that I'm a lifelong Spurs fan. It doesn't stop me giving Credit where it's due.

He did a programme wii young kids a year or two ago, and again, came across as a good bloke. Great striker in his day too!

Your post is so hilarious it must have been scripted, who writes your material?

[capt_birdseye]

I would have to say that he's a complete tool. His opinions on most things Football should be kept to himself.

[*Bob*]

Don't knock it - this it top drawer 'football humour'.

Ten thousand sides simultaneously split over worse jokes - every week down at the match.

[ratty]

Wrighty is a decent bloke! Shame he did not kick his sons ass for thieving off a nightclub worker though!

[woofmarkthedog]

Scored some top goals & always turns out at the right occasion.

[*Bob*]

Hang on - apparently I might have got the wrong end of the stick.

Ian Wright - white fella, ears stick out a bit, Channel Five.. Yes or No?

[Jah Lush]

That's Matthew Wright your Bobness.

[daizie]

mathew wright, used to have a crush on him and would go and sit in the wright stuff audience, he does have ian wright on the panel sometimes

[PeckhamRose]

Can't stand the idiot either. Saw him doing a TV show being a road trip on a Harley across USA, with another American 'proper' biker, and Ian Wright came across as childish, immature, irresponsible, lazy and an idiot. The other guy did all the work whilst Ian Wright posed for the camera constantly. Typical spoilt overpaid man-child who has never had to grow up. But then there's lots of men like that on our screens!

Apart from the above I have no opinions at all.

Oh. So they're not even related or anything then?

[Jah Lush]

Yes *Bob*, they're brother and sister.

Are you sure?

Myself and my brother met Ian Wright a couple of years ago in Hampstead. We were coming from the heath with a football....he was really kind to my brother, signed an autograph and kicked a ball about with him for at least ten minutes. Seemed a really nice guy.

[*Bob*]

Are you sure that wasn't Matthew Wright, Sally?

They're so easy to get mixed up! There's egg on my face for one!!
