IAN WRIGHT arrived at the latest episode of Stick to Football in a wheelchair after undergoing surgery.
The pundit took up his usual place on the panel alongside Gary Neville, Jill Scott and Paul Scholes, and even Roy Keane helped him out.
Wright made his entry with the assistance of crutches but Scott confirmed he made his way to the studio in a wheelchair.
The former striker then left in the chair with Keane wheeling him out as Scott likened the scene to TV sketch show Little Britain.
Wright, 60, revealed he was recovering from knee replacement surgery.
He is good friends with Keane and the pair frequently work together providing punditry for ITV and The Overlap.

Wright explained: “I see him as my friend now, but like I say, when we played I didn’t like him. I didn’t like him at all.
“I remember when I won my Premier League medal, when the camera came in I remember saying ‘Roy Keane winners medal’ because Roy Keane one time said to me ‘Wrighty, you’ve got a cabinet full of losers’ medals!’
