“In each of the seven seasons that followed the 1990 World Cup, Wright never scored fewer than 23 goals a season for his club. He scored 25 goals for Crystal Palace during the 1990–91 campaign before going on to break the 30 club-goal barrier five times in the following six seasons. Despite Wright’s goalscoring feats, the highest number of games he started for England consecutively was three—something he only did twice.”

Farcical.
