Former Arsenal Premier League winner looks unrecognisable as silver fox during Man City’s title celebrations
MANCHESTER CITY lifted their fifth Premier League title in six years at the Etihad on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola’s men were confirmed as English champions yet again following Nottingham Forest’s win over Arsenal 24 hours earlier.

It came after an 11-game winning streak which saw Man City overhaul a floundering Gunners side that has wilted during the run-in.
The Sky Blues are now set to finish with a sizeable gap back to Mikel Arteta‘s men as their 1-0 win over Chelsea opened up a seven-point lead – with City also boasting a game in hand.
Arsenal‘s misery over the past couple of months has coincided with the ever-increasing likelihood of a Man City treble.
And to compound the disappointment for fans of the North London club, one of their 2001/02 title-winning team was in the thick of the Man City celebrations.
But he looked remarkably different with silver hair in among the blue shirts in the City dressing room.
Former Gunners keeper Richard Wright, 45, was David Seaman’s deputy more than two decades ago.
He played 22 times in all competitions during their title-winning campaign – 12 of which came in the Premier League.
Back then, his hair was dark brown and he did not have much of a beard.

But during City’s party atmosphere on Sunday, Wright could be seen with silver hair and a some noticeable stubble.
He was snapped alongside Guardiola as the Man City boss placed an arm on the ex-Arsenal man’s shoulder.
After leaving Arsenal in 2002, Wright went on to play for Everton, West Ham, Ipswich and Sheffield United.
The two-cap England man then finished his career with four years at Man City – albeit without playing any games.
Retiring in 2016, Wright has remained with Man City and is now a goalkeeping coach at the club.
