Ex-England and Arsenal striker Ian Wright can’t hide his delight at being immortalised in London pub’s epic art mural
Wrighty believes that drinking 'a lot of Guinness' at The Cow in Notting Hill helped get his famous face on Paul Slater's work
HE is one of the most recognisable faces in football, and now Ian Wright's visage adorns a bar and restaurant in London.
And the former Arsenal striker was delighted to discover a drawing of himself on the wall in The Cow on Westbourne Park Road in Notting Hill.
Wrighty, who hosts a regular podcast with Sun Football, shared a photo of him next to his drawing, with a big smile.

He wrote: "Officially made the wall in @thecowlondon. That took a lot of Guinness".
Wrighty is drawn as a Subbuteo player, but rather that in the traditional football kit, he is dressed as a schoolboy.
The mural was created by Paul Slater at the popular saloon that has been open for 20 years.
It was actually commissioned back in 1995, and now the final part has been unveiled.
One fellow drinker at the venue was left disappointed however - that he hadn't made the wall too.
Commenting on Wrighty's photo, they said: "I've been drinking the place dry of Guinness these past twenty year and no offer of a wall space for me.
