Raffaella Wright-Phillips comes from football heritage

Raffaella already has a father and grandfather known for their elite footballing skills, but she also has a number of other relatives who play the sport.

Another of Ian Wright’s sons, the 38-year-old Bradley Wright-Phillips, is a retired striker — best known for his five-year stint at Manchester City, and the six years he spent with Major League Soccer side, the New York Red Bulls.

He still holds the prestigious record of being the club’s top goalscorer, having netted 108 between 2013 and 2019.

D’margio Wright-Phillips is Sean’s oldest son, who currently plays on the right wing for Stoke City.

Earlier this year, the 21-year-old joined League One’s Northampton Town on loan where he made seven appearances as a sub and helped them gain promotion from League Two.

The baller has represented England at both under-16 and under-17 levels.

Of course, Ian Wright himself needs no introduction. During his fruitful career, the 59-year-old made 33 appearances for England and played an astonishing 446 games for Crystal Palace and Arsenal combined.

After stints at West Ham and Celtic, Wright ended his career with Burnley in 2000.

So, will Raffaella follow in the footsteps of her dad, older brother, uncle and grandfather?
