Richard Wright

Having established a reputation as England's best young keeper at Ipswich Town, Richard's was bought by Arsenal for £6million but David Seaman blocked his route to regular first team football and he moved on to Everton.

Richard was a near ever-present for Premiership new boys Ipswich Town in 2000-01 and enhanced his credentials as a top-class 'keeper with a string of outstanding performances.

His best display was probably in the game at Arsenal when he was called upon to make a series of great saves, with one from a Dennis Bergkamp shot that was destined for the top corner of world-class standard.

His 12 clean sheets in the Premiership were a measure of the quality of his performance.

He also gave confidence to his defenders who could rest assured that the final line of defence was a particularly effective one.

On the international front, he was named in the first three England squads picked by Sven Goran Eriksson but failed to add to his single cap.

He played the last few games of the season with a slight injury and, at the start of the summer break, he entered hospital for a hernia operation.

Richard returned to Ipswich Town in July 2008 with a two-year contract.

He joined Sheffield United in September 2010 with a four-month contract.

Richard re-joined Ipswich Town in November 2011 with a contract to June 2012.

He joined Preston North End in July 2012 with a one-year contract but it was cancelled after only a week.

His contract at Manchester City was extended to June 2014 in July 2013.
