Harry Redknapp missed out on Ian Wright because he signed his 'useless' mate instead
Wright went on to become an Arsenal legend“After about four games of this, he came to see me. ‘I’ve got a mate,’ he said. ‘He was asking if he could have a trial. He’s a striker, like me.’
“‘And is he as good as you, Carl?’ I asked, suspiciously. ‘No, he’s not as good as me,’ he said, ‘but he’s decent.’“The following Saturday, we went to play Crystal Palace. ‘My mate, the one who wanted a trial, he’s playing for Palace today,’ said Carl. ‘Oh good,’ I thought. ‘No problem there then.' “Anyway, three goals later I realised Carl wasn’t much of a scout, either. His mate’s name? Ian Wright, who went on to score 238 league goals.”He won the Premier League with the Gunners in 1998 and scored 185 times for them.
The former England international has also been recognised by the Premier League, who added him to the Hall of Fame earlier this year.
