Hello, I'm Lauren Laverne and this is Desert Island Discs postcards.
What's this?
I hear you cry?
Well, each year we take a short break.
So we thought this would be the perfect time to revisit some of the thousands of people we've already cast away.
But where to start?
Well, this is where the postcards will help.
We'll feature funny, moving and memorable moments every weekday.
First up is one of my favourites, the former footballer and pundit Ian Wright.
I interviewed Ian back in early 2020.
He told me about his inspirational teacher, Mr Pigdon, and his childhood love of football.
It was the one thing that I was good at.
And I started playing at eight.
And people would say, oh, he's really good.
And then my brother would tease me about stuff.
So then I'd practice my left foot, practice my right foot, practice my heading.
I was so happy.
I was so happy when I played.
So you went to Turnham School when you were about eight.
You said you had a very short attention span.
