Ian Wright is training prisoners to become football coaches

Former Arsenal and England legend Ian Wright is supporting a Home Office scheme to train prisoners to become football coaches.

Ex-Arsenal chairman David Dein set up the Twinning Project in October 2018, linking football clubs and prisons to provide education and support.

There are now 73 English clubs partnered to local jails.

Wright - who spent a short time in prison as a young man himself - said initiatives like this are a lifeline in England's overcrowded prisons.
