Ian Wright admits he 'genuinely HATED' playing against Peter Schmeichel

Ian Wright has admitted he is ashamed by some of his conduct during his run-ins with Peter Schmeichel on the pitch.

The pair clashed on several occasions in the 1990s when the rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United in the Premier League was at its peak.

Wright was part of Arsene Wenger's squad that pipped United to the title in 1998, winning the league by one point.
