Arsenal legend Ian Wright 'saddened' as sporting memorabilia sold in US after ex-wife forgets to pay storage fees

Ian Wright has been left fuming after his vast collection of sporting memorabilia was flogged at auction in the US.

Trophies, shirts and signed photos belonging to the Arsenal legend were snapped up by a mystery buyer after his first wife Deborah failed to keep up payments on a storage unit in Florida.

The anonymous dealer has now put the items - around 500 in total - up for sale on a website and is seeking around £7million.

The former England striker was alerted by The Sun to the online sale, which even includes a signed ‘185’ shirt given to the prolific marksman after he became the club’s record scorer.
