5 Live In Short

Available for over a year

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright spoke out about the issues he believes there are with youth players in the English Game after England won the Under-17 World Cup. Speaking about the wages offered to teenage players, Ian Wright said “You cannot expect a seventeen year old to act normally with that around him.” “You’ve got to take that away from them so they can see the goal is winning things and legacy.” This clip originally aired on 606 with Kelly Cates and Ian Wright on Sunday 29th October.
