Arsenal legend Ian Wright has been spotted visiting and sharing a pint with UFC icon Conor McGregor in his pub in Dublin.
The Black Forge Inn is one of three pubs that McGregor owns and has become a regular haunt of celebrities in recent months. American comedian Kevin Hart and rap legend Coolio are just two of the people to have partied at McGregor’s establishment.
Wright is currently visiting the Republic of Ireland as professional football takes its annual summer break. While current stars are gearing up for a gruelling pre-season of fitness work, Wright is getting himself ready to return to punditry action in a rather different way.
