I quite like Wright, always thought he was harshly treated by our fans. Again, he was clearly a limited player, but he worked hard and was a decent squad player.

I find it difficult to hate players who are hard-working, even if they are s***e, at least they're trying.

Gareth Taylor...could never score for us but came good after at Burnley
Ade Akinbiyi....ditto ...inept in front of goal
Paul Mortimer ...lazy and largely ineffective but scored a nicw goal vs Man U in 1993
Kuqi Zohar and Conaugo also pretty poor

Yup, probably the one name to fit the 'hated' moniker.

I can't say I ever 'hated' a player for being simply inept (Akinbuye being an example).

But the Bostock deceipt (whether it was him or his advisors) was the pits.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I find it hard to hate a player just because they're not very good. Generally it's a bad attitude, laziness or lack of effort which make me dislike a player, and I don't think you can accuse Wright of any of these.

Not entirely true.

Without wishing to userp the thread into a Bostock one, he's apparently re-inventing himself in Belgium (albeit league 2) under Royal Antwerp boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink. From what I've read (which isn't much to be honest) he's, nowadays, less of the big-time-charlie that he always used to think he was.

Having said that, I stick by my original condemnation of the man.

I met him on a night out when he was at Man City as he was dating a girl I knew - he is one arrogant prick and was lucky he got out of the place without getting chinned by about 11 people...
