Ian Wright set to appear in Walsall
Footballing legend Ian Wright is to appear in Walsall later this year.
The former Arsenal and England striker is appearing at the Banks's Stadium in December.
He will be presenting a sporting dinner with Ian Wright where he will talk about his time with Arsenal and before that Crystal Palace, as well as his general experience in football.
Tickets cost £60 and are available online at www.wfcthevenue.co.uk/whatson/whats-on
Despite hanging up his boots, Wright is still heavily involved in the game working as a pundit on ITV and on BBC Radio 5live.
And he is not the only famous ex-footballer coming to the region this year, with Brazil legend Pele appearing in Cannock this month
