A Life in Football: My Autobiography

My Autobiography

De: Ian Wright

Narrado por: Paul Mendez

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.

Phenomenally authentic

I finished this book within 2 days. Ian Wright is the reason I support Arsenal and is a lifelong hero. So happy to have the opportunity to learn from his life lessons.

Best I've read!

Read a lot of bios recently but this one really goes behind the scenes from a young lost boy to an Arsenal hero.

Also great insight to methods and philosophy behind Arsene wenger!

Didn't want this book to end!

I missed out on his life

this was so enlightening. he had a very varied life. hope everything works out for him and his family

Wonderful Insight

What an amazing story from a born winner. This insight into Ian Wright’s life is so precious and well worth a listen. I loved it

Simply inspiring

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.

Better options

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.
