Republic of Ireland captain and Arsenal footballer Katie McCabe said she was flattered when Ian Wright hailed her as his favourite Arsenal player - and the pair keep in touch now via Instagram DMs.
Katie said she never expected Wright to declare himself as a fan of hers on a podcast last November and revealed he often sends her supportive messages through social media.
Katie, 26, who made her 150th appearance for Arsenal this week, said Wright often sends her messages of support as does former footballer and assistant manager Robbie Keane and Ireland international Seamus Coleman.
