Seaman Backs Wright - Ipswich Town News
England and Arsenal keeper David Seaman has backed Richard Wright to be his successor at international level. Wright has so far made one appearance for the full team in the eventful Malta match last summer. Since then David James seems to have nipped ahead of Wright in the pecking order but Seaman seems in no doubt that Wright is a quality keeper.
The be-ponytailed stopper said: "He's put that [Malta game] behind him and shown that he has the character to be a top-class goalkeeper. I think he's had a big part to play in the success Ipswich have enjoyed this season."
Wright was not named in Sven-Goran Eriksson's latest England squad as he has gone into hospital for his hernia operation.
