 Ian Wright - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ian Edward Wright, MBE (born 3 November 1963 in Woolwich, London) is a former professional footballer and current television and radio personality.
Wright scored in every round but the final of Arsenal's 1995 Cup Winners' Cup campaign, but the arrival of Bruce Rioch heralded a bleaker time; the two did not get on and eventually Wright handed in a transfer request (which he later retracted).
Wright's form for England was never as fruitful as it was for Arsenal, though he scored a crucial goal against Poland in a qualifier for the 1994 World Cup, but Graham Taylor's England still failed to qualify.

 Some Notes on the Travel Narrative
Travel narratives must be distinguished from travel guides, such as the annuals published by Fodor.
The genuine travel narrative can be distinguished from these counterfeits by the personal voice of the traveler/narrator and by its emphasis on the traveling itself as, ultimately, a single, if extended experience.
In resisting the second, he is able to convey the small moments of insight that occur because something foreign is suddenly perceived as familiar, because experience and memory have momentarily intersected in such a way that the sense of self presents a fluid, rather than a fixed, point of reference.
