A Life in Football: My Autobiography

'Wrighty's characteristic honesty means his book is far more engrossing than most bland football memoirs' Sunday Times
Ian Wright is one of the most fascinating and important figures in modern football. His journey from a South London council estate to national treasure is everyone's dream. From Sunday morning football directly to Crystal Palace; from 'boring, boring Arsenal' to inside the Wenger Revolution; from Saturday afternoons on the pitch to Saturday evenings on primetime television; from a week in prison to inspiring youth offenders; from punditry and back again, Ian reveals all about his extraordinary life and career.
But that's only half of the story. In this unputdownable autobiography, Ian Wright frankly discusses how retirement affects footballers; the rise of agents; why George Graham deserves a statue; social media; why music matters; breaking Arsenal's goal-scoring record; racism in and out of the game; and the unadulterated joy of playing alongside Dennis Bergkamp.
A Life in Football is a thoughtful and entertaining insight into one of the greatest and most idiosyncratic sports stars of recent years.
