    Which former England international had been working as a plasterer when Crystal Palace signed him?

    Question #106823. Asked by iwa2.

    BRY2K

    Ian Wright.

    Ian Edward Wright was born on the 3rd November 1963 in Woolwich, London. He quickly developed a love of football and was impressive for his school and local youth teams. However, in his late teens he had unsuccessful trials with Brighton and Southend and began to give up on his dream of being a professional footballer.

    He looked set for a full-time job as a plasterer in London, whilst playing non-league football.


    It was during his spell at Dulwich Hamlet FC that he was spotted by Crystal Palace scout Peter Prentice and was invited for a trial at Selhurst Park, where he impressed rookie manager Steve Coppell.
