Arsenal legend Ian Wright explains why he quit Match of the Day as he reveals aspect of job has 'taken its toll'

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Wright announced in May that he would no longer be appearing on the Premier League highlights show, having decided not to renew his contract. The former Arsenal and England striker first appeared on the programme 27 years ago and his exit signals the end of an era.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Wright says that the job is too intense, given he starts his journey to the studio at 8.30am and doesn't return home until 3.30am the following day. His decision to step down has sparked rumours he could sign for Sky Sports' Monday Night Football, but he has dismissed that notion, too.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"It’s time. Match of the Day is so iconic, so it’s a tough one. But, for me, it’s just run its course. I’m done," he told GQ. "It takes me two or three days to get over that. I’m 60 now [and] it’s just taken its toll."He added: "You might see me pop up on Monday Night Football but I’m not leaving to go to Sky. I’ve got something to offer but, at the same time, it’s got to be on my own terms."

WHAT WRIGHT SAID

Having denied that he will make a full-time switch to Sky Sports, it is not yet known what the 60-year-old former attacker's next move will be. He might just decide to take it easy and enjoy more time with his family.
