World's best chat show host retires from football

[JohnA]

From BBC website. No mention of Palace though....

Former Arsenal and England striker Ian Wright has decided to hang up his boots after a long and distinguished career in which professional football in which earned 31 international caps.

Wright, who helped Burnley gain promotion to the First Division last season, said it was one of the hardest decisions he has had to make in his life and he wanted to spend more time with his family.

The 36-year-old said: "It's a really hard decision
because I've got all the people in Burnley, the manager
is a close friend and I've made really good friends up
there."


In recent months Wright
has begun to develop a
new career in television,
hosting his own chat show,
and he added: "My family
are the major factor in me
not playing any more, plus
I have had a very good
career and it is other
people's turn now."

Relief. So we don't need to discuss the topic of whether to boo him or not when Burnley come around.

Ruediger,

Still boo him, and sing the 'illegitimate' song just in case he's sitting in the stand.

I still boo when he's on television.
