Ian Wright has all sorts of links to various underworld gangsters (many players of course do) and that was the case as far back as 1990. One of the reasons he hated Oggy (they had a mutual dislike) was because Oggy was an ex copper and by Oggy's own admission he wasnt averse to putting it about a bit when he was dealing with various unsavoury elements. Oggy was no shrinking violet back in the day and Wright liked to think he was a hard man (still does)
I think the reason Wright was often overlooked by England in his pomp was due to his off field shenanigans . His golascoring record was up there with Shearer and far better than Sheringham but if i recall he Wright barely got a look in back then.
I was almost 11 and don’t remember it being rubbed in. Just remember a montage of the 34 year run in the top flight which isn’t something they’ve done much sinceOld enough to remember his pathetic smirk in 2001. If you are not, well obviously cannot blame you for being a bit confused as to what i am referring to.

What is he thenPeople who think Lineker is “left wing” are politically clueless…..by and large politics is wasted on the English.
Like so many he is both a beneficiary of socialism and subsequently of neoliberalism.What is he then
He should have married Lilly Allen and the pair of them could have moved to Calais where they can do some good for the world rather than just lecture us all about their own moral compass.Like so many he is both a beneficiary of socialism and subsequently of neoliberalism.
He is typical of luvvie culture that swamps our institution’s believing this gives them the right to fire off like loose canons.
I don’t altogether blame him, just the symptomatic response to being a celeb without the nous necessary.
We should start a nasty song about Linacre , I can’t stand the fuckerHonestly though, who gives a shit. We'll be back on Match of the Day within the next year or two so we can start a proper thread then.
I remember when spurs played us at HR, a section of our support in a different part of the ground I was in, were singing an especially ‘nice’ song about his baby son. Who I think was being treated for cancer at the time I believe.We should start a nasty song about Linacre , I can’t stand the fucker
You are a minority but because this forum is littered with left wing soft muppets you actually believe you are an intellectual majority. That’s how stupid you really are.People who think Lineker is “left wing” are politically clueless…..by and large politics is wasted on the English.
I agree Murphy never ever mentions the City. Can’t stand the bloke personally.I personally do not think there is a mainstream media bias against us, however I bet Midlands Today are going to be absolutely gutted. Furthermore has anyone ever heard that Radio 5 Live ‘Midlands football correspondent’ Pat Murphy ever mention Coventry? He is always commentating on Wolves, Aston Villa or West Brom, and occasionally Leicester City
Wright was upset with us at one point when he was subbed off at Highfield Road. Think he was playing for Arsenal and they forgot their kit, so they had to wear one of our strips. Marching off, he threw the shirt down and stamped on it. The steward ( a well known hard nut) told him to pick it up or he would deck him. Wright said I will sue you, but picked it up.Lineker hates us, always did, Shearer and Ian Wright never had a good word to say about us in the 90s. Had any other lower league team did what we did today they would have been banging on about it constantly.
Younger fans wont remember what these guys were like back in the day.

To be fair to Wright, he said there was a major injustice when Hartson was blatantly sandwiched in the penalty area against West Ham right near the end of the match. If we had scored that pen, we would probably have stayed up.
I remember the steward you refer to. He loved a ruck!Wright was upset with us at one point when he was subbed off at Highfield Road.

Really? Why? Just genuinely intrigued as he does seem fake to me
Possibly, my memory is rubbish. Definitely Ian Wright was the player during this incident who was threatened. Maybe it wasn't a city shirt. The steward was a friend of my brothers.Wasn't this Chelsea, not Arsenal
