Ian Wright chooses his final Tracks of My Years

Ian Wright shares his final two choices for Tracks of My Years, plus there's the week's last edition of Ten to the Top and the final spins of the Record and Album of the Week

Broadcaster and former footballer Ian Wright takes us through his final two songs in Tracks of My Years.

Ian is a former professional footballer-turned-television and radio personality. A regular pundit for 大象传媒 and ITV, he also hosts his own weekly podcast called Wrighty's House.

During his career, Ian became the second-highest goal-scorer of all time for Arsenal, and the third-highest for Crystal Palace. He also earned 33 England caps and scored nine goals, and was made an OBE in June in the king鈥檚 first honours list

A big believer in community work and charity, Ian is an ambassador for women鈥檚 football, and has been campaigning to get more female coaches into the game. In 2022, Ian was part of the FA's Let Girls Play campaign.

Ian鈥檚 final choices come from John Lennon and Kylie Minogue.

There'll be more audio nuggets from the 大象传媒 Archive in Vernon's Vault, as well as the Record and Album of the Week and the mid-morning music quiz Ten to the Top.

Whatever you're up to, Vern wants to hear from you: email vernon@bbc.co.uk - and if you鈥檇 like to apply to take part in Ten to the Top, the address you need is tentothetop@bbc.co.uk.
