Ian Wright admits he 'never thought he would become a professional footballer' after becoming one of the latest additions to the Premier League Hall of Fame that has left the Arsenal legend feeling 'humbled and grateful'

Ian Wright has admitted that he doubted his ability to make it as a professional player following the announcement of his addition to the Premier League Hall of Fame.

The Arsenal legend is one of six additions to the recently created Hall of Fame, which has nearly doubled from 10 to 16 stars.

The former striker was already a big name for the Gunners when the Premier League was created in 1992 and was their main striker up until his departure in 1998.

His final season at Highbury was a highly memorable one as he won the Premier League and FA Cup double with the Gunners as well as becoming the club's greatest goal scorer of all time with 185 goals in a record only since beaten by Thierry Henry.
