Ian Wright has spoken passionately about the decision by the six English clubs to withdraw from the European Super League. Speaking via Instagram, the former professional footballer said: 'Isn't it amazing what people can achieve when they come together?' He added: 'Common sense prevailed and the greed was crushed.' He also called for the same unity and fight against football's problems with racism: 'It's very difficult to ignore what can be done by everybody when they come together. Can you imagine how wonderful this world would be if everybody motorised themselves like that for racism or inequality?'
