Is Shaun Wright-Phillips Wrighty's adopted son?

[OZGunner]

Forgive my ignorance is Shaun Wright-Phillips, adopted or not? I am not meaning to be offensive or anything, I am just curious I had a disagreement with a friend about it.

 

[Soler]

Yeah, he is. Either that or it's his Step Son.

 

[OZGunner]

Not a birth out of wedlock when Wrighty was a playboy type fellow?

 

[Soler]

Absolutely no idea. All I know is that he's adopted or step-son. Remember the commentator saying it during the Citeh match at Highbury.

"As a boy he used to watch his ____, Ian Wright play here, at Highbury ..."

The blank is what I can't remember

That is my thoughts, bloody coincidence that an adopted son would be good enough to play footy at the elite level.

In Australian Rules we have a father-son rule, meaning if a father plays X number of games for a club then that club has the first option to draft his son/s that may he may produce.

I have an interest in genetics and the passing on of sporting talent.

I'm sure Wrighty taught him everything he knows in the back yard :wink:

He's his son by birth, but he didn't grow up with him - child from a previous relationship.

West Coast ain't even good enough for the WAFL mate.

Jako needs to retire before he embaraces himself even more.

Sorry about going odd the subject.

Ive always thought he was adopted.

He is a class player though, getting better all the time.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

I thought he was adopted, but I'm not too sure, did Wrighty also adopt Bradley Wright- Phillips then?
