Ian Wright, Arsenal legend, England striker and TV pundit extraordinaire, is one of the most interesting and relevant figures in modern football. His journey from a South London council estate to national treasure is everybody'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, Ian will reveal all about his extraordinary life and career.

Ian will also frankly discuss how retirement affects footballers, why George Graham deserves a statue, social media, why music matters, breaking Arsenal's goal-scoring record, racism, the unadulterated joy of playing alongside Dennis Bergkamp and, of course, what he thinks about Tottenham.

Not a standard footballer's autobiography, Ian Wright's memoir is a thoughtful and gripping insight into a Highbury hero and one of the greatest sports stars of recent years.

One of the most inspiring stories I’ve ever heard. Helped give me perspective on my own life and gave me a lot of things to talk to my young, aspiring footballer son. I simply adore it.

Simply inspiring

Not bad, but enjoyed sir Alex Ferguson and Roy Keanes one a lot more. They had a lot more behind the scenes stuff and more details.

The reading is pretty bad too, I don’t wanna hear the reader licking his lips and all those saliva sounds.

Better options
