Had a tweet pop up suggesting problems between the two, evidently it's in Wrightys book, having no inclination to buy the book, anyone with any info ?

He has a good at most of the older players for not making him and other new signings feel welcome.

Jim Cannon (allegedly) was bitter towards the newer players (Wright, Gray, Finnigan etc) coming through and Stevie Coppell and Brighty have said the same!

I seem to recall reading that Wright nutmegged Cannon in training and it is not considered the thing to do to a fellow pro during training.

It wasn't just Jim from what I remember. You had a handful of 30-something seasoned pros at the club in 1984-85 and then Finnigan, Gray and Wrighty arrived all not long out of their teens so a bit cocky and that was that. Never the twain.

Jim Cannon is a God, Wright is a tw*t.

Think there may have been an element of the ol' racism involved as well.

Probably more because they were mouthy young gits who happened to be black. Jim played with Vince, Tony Sealy and others too and no apparent problems. At least I hope that was the reason. Anyway Coppell soon got rid so Jim's behaviour must have been over the top somehow.

Do you honestly think that Wrighty looked down on Cannon just because he was Scottish?
