Welcome back to Stick To Football with Gary Neville, Ian Wright, Jill Scott and Roy Keane – the original show from The Overlap brought to you by Sky Bet. As ...
This is a great podcast, up there with The Rest is Football. Wright is so passionate, he truly is a lovely inspiration
Shearer pre injury was unplayable. He did all the old Alan Shearer power and strength stuff but could pick the ball up 40 yards out and run at pace. He was skill and pace and was and incredible player. This sub underrates him because they didn’t see him pre injury.
Wright was probably the best of the rest he was better finisher than Shearer and more skillful.
Fowler as a kid scoring 30 goals three years in a row was like nothing anyone had seen. Razor quick, so nimble and deadly them three were so good.
Ferdinand, Collymore, Cole, Smith, Sheringham…. Incredible talent pool of strikers plus legendary genius like Merson, Beardsley, Barnes, Le Tissier who were fantastic options as deeper strikers.
Wright is the best finisher I’ve seen in English football he deserved more caps but Venables had his favourites. Venables froze out Merson because he was apparently a bad influence on Gazza! You can’t make this shit up sometimes your face doesn’t fit.
Wright was petulant, angry and moody at times and always seemed ready to start a fight in an empty room I am sure this hampered his international career.
The chilled out uncle Ian the youth see on twitter isn’t the spiky kid who played for Arsenal. Man’s matured massively. Respect
