I wish I’d wasted my career
I wish I’d wasted my careerHe got a 5 year deal at Reading where he failed miserably making only 13 appearances and managing to score a grand total of 1 goal. I'm sure he took them for a lot of money, but he's rated as one of the worst signings in the club's history, that's quite some legacy.
Yes he played for Sunderland, they gave him15 games and he excelled there managing 2 goals before they fucked him off back to Reading without wanting to extend his stay.
He also played for Scotland, making his debut as a substitute in one of Scotlands worst ever results, a 3-0 thumping from the mighty Kazakhstan
Last season saw him turning out for the mighty Shamrock Rovers in the Irish pub league, where again he managed 1 goal, this time from 10 appearances.
Looking back over his career I think it's fair to say his best and most successful time was here at Cov when he had a good half a season in league 2, Which was about his level on a good day, and he owes that to MR.
His wasted career should serve as a warning to all young players not to get their heads turned by greedy agents offering a quick buck before they are ready to step up.
If he'd of stayed here another year and continued to develop under MR he could have gone on to be a really decent player at a much better club than Reading!
Hasn't Wright missed a couple since being back?I think quite a few have been Simms and BTA when Wright was injured

One against Burnley sticks in the mind when we were 1-0 up
Funnily enough I think because he missed it it’s not counted.
Funnily enough, there are a number of people who sit by me who, unbelievably, really don't appreciate Wright's skills. Do you sit near me?
I never got this response - if we’re talking as a person, he did great for himself.
The OP comes across as a complete bell-end.I never got this response - if we’re talking as a person, he did great for himself.
but I don’t think you can brag about his career as a footballer.
“yeah - mate I played 13 times for reading, scored 1 goal and got carted off to league one Sunderland when they were on their knees. Now no English team will touch me so I’m playing for a 2nd tier American side”
I think means the one form Dasilva's cross which he didn't get a touch on.
Yeah, he hasn't done badly, considering most of the fanbase had already written him off by November in League Two.I never got this response - if we’re talking as a person, he did great for himself.

Hopefully Luton, when we send them down.Yeah I think most must have been earlier in season, we have scored 36 times in 24 games since Lampard took over, which only Leeds can beat. Would be nice if we could thump someone before end of the season though, just to make our goal difference a bit closer to those around us
pretty much sums up modern football doesn't it. a player doing something for less money because its a better option for their long term career is pretty rare.I never got this response - if we’re talking as a person, he did great for himself.

I thought we missed a shed load of opportubitues last night some decent.
Saw something which said our Xg was 1.14??? I mean how?
I don’t think they were taking a pop at his decision, financially it makes massive sense. But let’s not pretend his football career took off.I wonder how many taking a pop at Sparky would have done the exact same thing as him? If he does his ACL and at the age he was at, never gets that big contract at REading or anywhere. Look after your family whilst you can. He was part of our history and fired us to promotion. We used his fee to buy Chaplin, sold Chaplin to buy Godden etc and it was all part of the journey. Forever grateful.
