Because of his oversized winter coat, Arsenal icon Ian Wright has been compared to the Michelin Man.
Wright attended the FA Cup second-round match between non-league Eastleigh and Reading at Silverlake Stadium.

Supporters believe Wright was inspired by this coat.
And admirers could not take their eyes off the pundit’s enormous jacket—a cross between an Adidas and Moncler that cost close to £2,000.
“Ian Wright borrowing the Michelin Man’s winter coat for today’s live FA Cup game,” one person said.
“Are we going to have a chat about Ian Wright’s coat?” someone else said.
“I don’t think Ian Wright’s coat is big enough,” someone jokingly said.
“Ian Wright wearing a £2,000 designer coat,” another person remarked. I would much rather wear a nice-looking coat that costs £200 than that ugly item.

When Wright’s previous Gunners team faced Liverpool at home in the third round, he would have been focused on the draw.
In the meantime, Manchester United visits Wigan, Chelsea hosts Preston North End, and City hosts Huddersfield.
Some Gooners were irritated by it and thought the draw was “rigged” or “fixed.”
Liverpool’s January journey to the Emirates will be a rematch of the FA Cup final from 2001.
Michael Owen led the Reds to victory at the Millennium Stadium and their sixth title out of eight with two goals in the last minutes.
Another game to watch is Sunderland vs. Newcastle, which is the first Tyne-Wear derby since March 2016.
