1990–91 Pro Set England — Ian Wright #61 — Crystal Palace
1990–91
Ian Wright appears here as a Crystal Palace player, before Arsenal and before the Premier League era. It is a good reminder that one of English football’s most recognisable strikers spent the first major chapter of his professional career somewhere very different from the club with which he is now most closely associated.
