UPSET: Ian Wright

IAN WRIGHT'S memorabilia has reportedly been sold after his ex-wife missed payments on the facility where they were stored.

The former footballer described his sadness after items of were seized in the US including a This Is Your Life red book and a golden boot trophy.

According to The Sun, some 500 pieces made up the haul at the Florida lock-up, and items from the former Arsenal and England striker's glory days were purchased by a US dealer and put up for sale online.

The collection reportedly includes a goal of the month trophy on sale at £6,000, the This Is Your Life book at £5,000 and a match ball and signed shirts for £500 each.

"It's really sad that it has come to this," Wright told the paper.

Wright's ex-wife, Deborah, told The Sun the contents of the lock-up were sold last summer without her knowledge.

"I was late on the payment. They were repossessed," she said.
