Wright - Why I was scared of George Graham

Ian Wright remember well the first photo ever taken of him as an Arsenal player - because he was scared at the time!

Speaking to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Lacazette in an exclusive interview at London Colney in February, our former top goalscorer discussed the picture.

This is a transcript of what was discussed:

 

IW: This photo was when I signed for Arsenal and I was scared. I was scared of him (George Graham) for a start. Have you ever had a manager you were afraid of?

 

PEA: Yes

 

IW: I was afraid of him and this was me because everybody was saying ‘they’ve signed him but we don’t need him’ and this is about two or three days before the next game, so I’m just worried. This was the first picture and the first interview I saw of him after three days because when I signed for Arsenal he was on the golf course!
