Alan Geoffrey Wright (born 28 September 1971 in Ashton-under-Lyne) is a tiny little man who suffered one of football’s most appropriate injuries. Standing at just five foot four, fun-sized left-back Wright spent the peak of his career at Aston Villa back in the day when all Villa’s players were people like Mark Draper. During eight consistent years, Wright, who often trained on a Subbuteo pitch, made over 250 appearances at Villa Park and became a very popular figure but he is possibly best remembered for sustaining an injury that entered into footballing folklore.
