The classy gesture commemorated Wright, who was once the Gunners&#8217; record goal-scorer, turning 60 last month.<\/p>\n<p>Wright cut his teeth with Crystal Palace in the professional game, and by the time he was brought to Highbury in 1991, he had nurtured a reputation for being lethal in front of goal.<\/p>\n<p>The sharp-shooting striker bagged 185 times in 288 first-team appearances for the Gunners, which stood as the club record until it was surpassed by another north London icon &#8211; Thierry Henry &#8211; in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>To mark Wright turning 60 last month, the former England international was permitted by Arsenal and sponsors Adidas to design a sentimental training top, featuring prominent moments from his playing days, which the players wore before kick-off against Wolves.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Arsenal and Chelsea can target four other strikers as Osimhen deal dead in water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Ian-Wright-Arsenal-5097091.jpg?r=1701610382761\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s a beautiful gesture from Arsenal for my 60th birthday,&#8221; Wright told <em>Premier League Productions<\/em>. &#8220;That shirt is just different patches of my Arsenal career, my Arsenal moments and my friends. David Seaman is on there. Kelly Smith. David Rocastle. Tony Adams.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Just little moments of my career and how it went. The club have been amazing. For them to do that, alongside Adidas, it\u2019s just a dream come true. And now the team is warming up in them, I think I am going to cry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Doku sends terrifying warning to Man City&#8217;s rivals ahead of Tottenham clash[INTERVIEW] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man City eyeing &#8216;the next Lionel Messi&#8217; as bargain release clause sparks panic[GOSSIP] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Arsenal and Chelsea suffer Osimhen setback as Napoli chief spills the beans[TRANSFERS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Arsenal made sure their performance didn&#8217;t sour the occasion for Wright, with early goals from Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard putting Mikel Arteta&#8217;s side in control.

We played against a really good side and we generated so much and conceded almost nothing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The scoreline should\u2019ve been very different. We were really unlucky in certain moments, we hit the post twice or three times I think, and at the end we made an error close to the goal and in the Premier League you get punished big time and then it\u2019s game on. But I am really, really happy with how we performed again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1841600\/arsenal-news-ian-wright-wolves-premier-league\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arteta previews Arsenal&#8217;s Premier League clash with Wolves Arsenal legend Ian Wright was touched by the sight of his former [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":299425,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
