Ian Wright arrives in WHEELCHAIR at podcast filming and reveals reason

Ian Wright arrived in a wheelchair to the latest episode of Stick to Football and protested as Roy Keane became his minder for the day.

The Arsenal legend, 60, revealed he is recovering from knee replacement surgery and therefore uses the wheels to get around.

At the end Keane helped him get away and said: 'I've got you, I've got you. Team player.'

'I'm his full-time carer,' Keane added as Scott joked that it was like 'Little Britain'. 

As it turns out, Wright really didn't need the Irishman's assistance. 

In an Instagram video, the former striker showed he could whizz around on his own and captioned it: 'New knee. VAMOS!'

'That's what I'm saying. I'm doing my knee but I'm doing fitness,' he said down the camera. 

'Look how strong I am,' he added, as he span around in a corridor. 

This isn't the first time he has gone under the knife for a knee problem. 

In February 1998, aged 34, Wright had an operation on his left knee after tearing the cartilage. 

His hope was to make the 1998 World Cup,  but an injury in the final warm-up game against Morocco dashed that dream.
