VIDEO: Ian Wright listening to Hotel California... leaving Hotel California

One of the biggest aspects of a striker's arsenal is timing, and earlier this week retired England international Ian Wright experienced some of the best timing since he hung up his boots.

WATCH: Memphis's new rap song

The former Crystal Palace and Arsenal frontman was leaving the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles when the car picking him up had iconic Eagles' song Hotel California playing on the radio. The song was inspired by the very hotel that Wright was leaving, a fact that the Gunners' legend — currently working in the U.S. as a pundit for Fox's Confederations Cup coverage — did not let go unnoticed.

Wright even broke into song as the car pulled away.

The Arsenal legend is never one to shy away from sharing his opinion on a player, but his opinion on his singing voice may need some work. 

For now, let's just leave the singing of Hotel California to Don Henley and the Eagles
