Richard Ian Wright (born 5 November 1977) is an English football coach and former professional footballer who is a goalkeeping coach for Premier League club Manchester City.
As a player he was a goalkeeper. He joined Ipswich Town as a trainee, going on to play for the club 298 times between 1995 and 2001. He then moved to Premier League club Arsenal, before being signed by Everton in 2002, where he spent five years. A brief spell on loan from West Ham United with Southampton was followed by a transfer back to Ipswich Town. After a short spell at Sheffield United, a third stint at Ipswich and a brief time at Preston North End, he joined Premier League champions Manchester City on a free transfer in 2012. After four years at City, during which he did not play at all, he announced his retirement in May 2016.{{cite web |last1=Harris |first1=Jay |title=Manchester City Bench-Warmer Richard Wright Finally Retires |url=https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/news/manchester-city-bench-warmer-richard-112822668.html |website=uk.sports.yahoo.com |access-date=27 September 2020 |date=17 May 2016}} He remained with City as a coach under new manager Pep Guardiola.{{cite web|last1=Brennan|first1=Stuart|title=Man City keeper Richard Wright could stay on after Guardiola's arrival|url=https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/man-city-wright-pep-guardiola-11349044|website=Manchester Evening News|date=18 May 2016 |access-date=16 April 2018}}
He was a member of the England squad, earning two caps, and was included in Kevin Keegan's 23 man squad for UEFA Euro 2000 but did not see the field.
Club career
=Ipswich Town=
Wright was born in Ipswich, Suffolk and signed a professional contract with Ipswich Town on 2 January 1995 after serving his apprenticeship and made his debut as a 17-year-old in a 2–0 victory at home to Coventry City in May that year.{{cite news |title=Sky falls in on Coventry |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/sky-falls-in-on-coventry-1618504.html |work=The Independent |date=7 May 1995 |access-date=7 May 2009 |location=London |first=Geoff |last=Brown }} The season ended with Ipswich's relegation from the Premier League, and for the following four, Ipswich lost in the promotion play-offs from the Football League First Division.{{cite news|title=Ipswich triumph at last|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sport/football/768682.stm|access-date=13 November 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=29 May 2000}}
He played a major role in Ipswich's 1999–2000 season when the club were promoted via the play-offs at the fifth attempt. On 29 May 2000, in the play-off final against Barnsley, Ipswich won 4–2, with Wright's long goal kick being flicked on by Marcus Stewart for Richard Naylor to put them 2–1 up. Wright scored an unfortunate own goal when a shot rebounded off the bar and hit him, and then gave away a penalty kick by fouling Craig Hignett, but saved it from Darren Barnard. In Ipswich's first season back in the top flight, he inspired them to 5th place and qualification to the UEFA Cup.
=Arsenal=
Wright joined Arsenal on 5 July 2001 for £2 million.{{cite web|last1=Howson|first1=Nick|title=Eboue, Frimpong and Reyes: Arsene Wenger's Worst Arsenal XI|url=http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/eboue-frimpong-reyes-arsene-wengers-worst-arsenal-xi-1441169|work=International Business Times|access-date=20 May 2016|date=20 March 2014}} He signed a five-year contract. Manager Arsène Wenger envisaged him as a long-term successor to David Seaman and also as a more experienced competitor for the previous second-choice goalkeeper Alex Manninger, who soon left the club.{{cite news |title=Arsenal complete Wright signing |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/1420099.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=5 July 2001 |access-date=15 July 2007 }}
Wright made his debut against Derby County on 29 September, keeping a clean sheet in a 2–0 win at Pride Park which put his team on the summit of the table.{{cite news|title=Henry fires Gunners top|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1567621.stm|access-date=13 November 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=29 September 2001}} On his UEFA Champions League debut against Panathinaikos he saved an Angelos Basinas penalty to help his side win 2–1.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/champions_league/1601099.stm|title=Henry sees off Greeks|publisher=BBC Sport|date=16 October 2001 |access-date=28 October 2016}} Despite an injury to Seaman which gave him an extended run in the team, he did not capitalise on the opportunity, punching the ball into his own net in a 4–2 home defeat to Charlton Athletic on 4 November when trying to clear from Paul Konchesky,{{cite news|title=Charlton stun wasteful Arsenal |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/1633390.stm|access-date=13 November 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=4 November 2001}} and then two weeks later he was at fault for Gus Poyet's injury time equaliser in the North London Derby against Tottenham Hotspur.{{cite news

He made his last Arsenal appearance on the final day of the 2001–02 season, a 4–3 victory over Everton. Arsene Wenger deliberately started him for the match, so that he ended the season with 10 league appearances, qualifying him for a winners' medal; he was substituted for Stuart Taylor late in the game, so that Taylor also had 10 appearances and earned a medal.{{Soccerbase season|8726|2001|name=Richard Wright|access-date=17 November 2013}} Wright made 22 appearances for Arsenal in total.{{cite news|title=Wright agrees Everton move|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/2149205.stm|access-date=13 November 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=24 July 2002}}
=Everton=
After Seaman was given a one-year contract extension, Wright sought first-team action elsewhere, and on 24 July 2002 he moved to Everton for an initial £3.5 million, potentially rising by another million if a set number of appearances were reached.
On his Goodison Park debut on 17 August, he made an error and gifted a goal to Les Ferdinand in a 2–2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur,{{cite news|title=Radzinski rescues Everton|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/2196568.stm|access-date=14 September 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 August 2002}} but a week later he saved a penalty from Kevin Phillips in a 1–0 win at Sunderland.{{cite news|title=Everton edge out Black Cats|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/2210412.stm|access-date=14 September 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=24 August 2002}} After the season had ended, on 13 June 2003 (Friday the 13th), he had a freak accident when he fell from his loft, injuring his shoulder.{{cite news|title=Wright positive after freak injury|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/2995404.stm|access-date=13 November 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=17 June 2003}}
In August 2003, Everton brought in veteran Nigel Martyn. On 13 September, Wright went off injured 26 minutes into an eventual 2–2 draw against Newcastle United.{{cite news|title=Ferguson haunts Newcastle|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/3194211.stm|access-date=13 November 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=13 September 2003}} He faced knee surgery and missed the remainder of the season.{{cite news|last1=Stevens|first1=Richard|title=Injuries threaten the Everton goal|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2003/sep/18/newsstory.sport|access-date=13 November 2015|work=The Guardian|date=18 September 2003}}
During the 2005–06 season, Martyn had a spell out with injury, but Wright injured himself soon after while warming up for a match against Chelsea on 8 February 2006; a large sign instructed players to use temporary goals for their warm-up but he ignored the warning and fell on the sign, injuring his ankle.{{cite news |last=Brodkin |first=Jon |title=Robben keeps his feet as Everton fall |work=The Guardian |date=9 February 2006 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/feb/09/match.sport |access-date=21 July 2008 |location=London }} Despite Martyn's retirement, Wright remained second in the pecking order for the 2006–07 season behind new arrival Tim Howard. He played 71 games in total for Everton, but only two in his last campaign.{{cite news|title=West Ham sign goalkeeper Wright|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/w/west_ham_utd/6271876.stm|access-date=13 November 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=4 July 2007}}

Wright was released by Everton at the end of the 2006–07 season,{{cite news |title=Everton release Pistone & Wright |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/6655123.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=14 May 2007 |access-date=14 May 2007 }} and signed for West Ham United on 4 July 2007. Second-choice to Robert Green, he made his Hammers debut on 28 August in a 2–1 win at Bristol Rovers in the second round of the League Cup.{{cite news|title=Bristol Rovers 1-2 West Ham|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/league_cup/6963487.stm|access-date=13 November 2015|publisher=BBC Sport|date=28 August 2007}}
On 20 March 2008, having only played two further League Cup games for West Ham he joined Southampton of the Championship on a month's loan as their first three goalkeepers were all unavailable through injury.{{cite news |title=Saints sign Wright |url=http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=9898 |website=saintsfc.co.uk |publisher=Southampton FC |date=20 March 2008 |access-date=20 March 2008 }} Two days later, he made his debut in a goalless home draw with Coventry City.{{cite news |title=Southampton 0–0 Coventry |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/7298122.stm |publisher=BBC Sport |date=22 March 2008 |access-date=13 March 2008 }} On 18 April, the loan was extended to the end of the 2007–08 season,{{cite news |title=Wright loan extended |url=http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/?page_id=10032 |website=saintsfc.co.uk |date=18 April 2008 |access-date=19 April 2008 }} he totalled seven appearances for the Saints.
=Return to Ipswich Town=
Wright rejoined Ipswich on 21 July 2008 for an undisclosed fee on a two-year contract with the option of a third year.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/i/ipswich_town/7517822.stm|title=Ipswich re-sign goalkeeper Wright |date=21 July 2008|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=21 July 2008}} He then made his 300th club appearance for Ipswich in a 4–1 loss against Wigan Athletic on 23 September in the third round of the League Cup. His fine performances for his hometown club earned him the Players and supporters' player of the season awards for the 2008–2009 season. On 1 December 2009 Wright was ruled out for up to four months following a knee injury suffered during a 2–1 win against Cardiff City.{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/i/ipswich_town/8389177.stm |title=Ipswich Town keeper Richard Wright out for four months |publisher=BBC Sport |date=1 December 2009 |access-date=1 December 2009}}
Wright was released by Ipswich at the end of the 2009–10 season.
=Sheffield United=
After a brief trial spell, Wright joined Sheffield United on a free transfer on a four-month short-term deal in September 2010, having been extended until the end of the season.{{cite news |title=United secure Wright deal |url=http://www.sufc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10418~2161085,00.html |publisher=Sheffield United FC |date=21 September 2010 |access-date=22 September 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100924145255/http://www.sufc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10418~2161085,00.html |archive-date=24 September 2010 |url-status=dead}} Despite this Wright spent most of his time at Bramall Lane injured and made only two starts, both times being withdrawn midway through the game due to further injuries. His contract was terminated with Sheffield United by mutual consent at the start of April 2011.{{cite news|title=Sheffield United show trio exit|url=http://asia.eurosport.com/football/championship/2009-2010/united-show-trio-exit_sto2739921/story.shtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120312215741/http://asia.eurosport.com/football/championship/2009-2010/united-show-trio-exit_sto2739921/story.shtml|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 March 2012|access-date=7 April 2011|newspaper=eurosport.com|date=7 April 2011}}
=Third spell at Ipswich Town=
Wright returned to Ipswich in the summer of 2011 to train with the club. Having been on trial at other clubs he had impressed enough while training with Ipswich to earn a call up to the reserves,{{cite web|url=http://www.twtd.co.uk/news.php?storyid=19045&title=wright_back_in_blue_as_reserves_draw|title=Wright Back in Blue as Reserves Draw|publisher=Independent Ipswich Town|date=23 August 2011|access-date=22 September 2013}} in which he featured in a game against Colchester United.
Wright re-signed for the club for his third spell on 23 November 2011. Earlier in the week he had stated he wanted to return to the club: "I love Ipswich Town Football Club, I don't hide that. I think everyone knows that, but at the moment there's nothing there for me – simple as that, you just get on with it and look elsewhere. If anything changed and something came up (at Ipswich) then I'd be a liar to say I wouldn't consider it because I would."{{cite web|url=http://www.greenun24.co.uk/ipswich-town/no_ipswich_town_return_for_richard_wright_1_1133527|title=No Ipswich Town return for Richard Wright|publisher=Green Un 24|date=22 November 2011|access-date=22 September 2013}} In his third debut for the club, Wright conceded three times in a 3–2 home defeat to Reading.{{Cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15802877.stm|title=Ipswich 2–3 Reading|date=26 November 2011|access-date=27 November 2011|publisher=BBC Sport}}

On 1 July 2012, Wright signed for Preston North End; however, he left the club only one week into pre-season training as he was suffering from homesickness, having made no appearances for the club.{{cite web|title=Richard Wright leaves Preston citing homesickness|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18749431|publisher=BBC Sport|date=6 July 2012|access-date=22 September 2013}}

International career
Wright was capped twice for England, making his debut against Malta in a friendly on 3 June 2000; he gave away two penalty kicks, conceding the first as David Carabott's shot rebounded into the net off his head after hitting the post, and saving the second, again from Carabott, in the 88th minute as England won 2–1.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/euro2000/teams/england/775879.stm|title=Malta v England: Clockwatch|date=3 June 2000|access-date=14 May 2014|work=BBC}} He was a member of the England UEFA Euro 2000 squad, where he was third choice behind David Seaman and Nigel Martyn.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/euro2000/teams/england/772145.stm |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191031030556/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/euro2000/teams/england/772145.stm |archive-date=31 October 2019 |title=Keegan names Euro 2000 squad |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=1 June 2000 |access-date=16 May 2020}}
On 15 August 2001, he earned his second and final cap, replacing the injured David James, who himself had replaced Martyn at half-time in a 2–0 friendly defeat against the Netherlands at White Hart Lane. Wright kept a clean sheet, as England were already 2–0 down when he came on.{{cite news|title=Holland outclass England|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/1492360.stm|access-date=23 November 2020|work=BBC Sport|date=15 August 2001}}{{cite web |title=England 0 Netherlands 2 |url=http://www.englandfootballonline.com/Seas2000-10/2001-02/M0781Ned2001.html |website=englandfootballonline.com |access-date=23 November 2020 |date=15 August 2001}}

Personal life
In November 1998, Wright and his girlfriend Kelly Hammond had a son, Harry. In May 2000, two days after Ipswich had beaten Bolton Wanderers in the play-off semi-final to reach Wembley, he and Kelly married.{{cite news|title=Richard does the right thing and ties the knot|newspaper=East Anglian Daily Times|date=20 May 2000}} Wright's father-in-law, Geoff Hammond, a former full-back, scored two goals in 69 Ipswich appearances between 1970 and 1973.
