Arsenal legend Ian Wright in wheelchair after surgery as Roy Keane helps him out after filming Stick to Football

IAN WRIGHT arrived at the latest episode of Stick to Football in a wheelchair after undergoing surgery.
The pundit took up his usual place on the panel alongside Gary Neville, Jill Scott and Paul Scholes, and even Roy Keane helped him out.
Wright made his entry with the assistance of crutches but Scott confirmed he made his way to the studio in a wheelchair.
The former striker then left in the chair with Keane wheeling him out as Scott likened the scene to TV sketch show Little Britain.
Wright, 60, revealed he was recovering from knee replacement surgery.
He is good friends with Keane and the pair frequently work together providing punditry for ITV and The Overlap.
But they often row and bicker too with fans previously likening them to an old married couple.
There was a time when the pair did not get on at all with Wright admitting he “strongly disliked” Keane over his jibe at Arsenal stars and their “loser’s medals”.
Wright explained: "I see him as my friend now, but like I say, when we played I didn't like him. I didn't like him at all.
“I remember when I won my Premier League medal, when the camera came in I remember saying ‘Roy Keane winners medal’ because Roy Keane one time said to me 'Wrighty, you've got a cabinet full of losers’ medals!’

"It's the kind of comment I would have said to him if the shoe was on the other foot.
“But when he said it, it hurts you but I was laughing deep down because it's a killer, it finishes you, bam. Even when I reminded him, he said ‘nah I didn't say that'. I said, 'Roy, it's not something you forget!’"
