Ian Wright’s enormous coat has become a hilarious meme – 15 that hit the back of the net
England legend Ian Wright was on punditry duty at the Eastleigh vs Reading FA Cup fixture, and with temperatures dipping below freezing, he made the very sensible decision to dress for the occasion.
Here he is addressing the reason for protests by Reading fans.
️ 'These are people three weeks before Christmas being told they're not being paid on time'
️ 'The owners have previous in this, they've had a club dissolved in China, a club in Belgium go bankrupt – the mismanagement is on such a scale'@IanWright0 on @ReadingFC's owners pic.twitter.com/HXxyypIhA0

REMEMBER. As the temperatures drop, your Ian Wright may be at risk of bursting, causing water damage. ALWAYS lag your Ian Wright.

Maybe Ian Wright’s giant coat is sentient, and after it eats him, it’ll come for the rest of us, growing bigger and bigger, the more of us it consumes. pic.twitter.com/V8tXCXybs2

Everyone's chuckling at Wrighty's outfit but that's not actually a coat, it's a huge amphibian he's wrapped around himself, and it took quite some manoeuvring to get into position.
In fact, he had to consult a textbook on the subject.
That's right, one on newt on Ian mechanics. pic.twitter.com/FagD7g9Z1t

The bottom line …
Ian Wright's coat… say what you like, because he's laughing, because he's toasty. Please, Santa, I've been very good, bring me a similar coat, ladies size! #IanWrightsCoat pic.twitter.com/Y4kJUxwovm
