Max Wright

Impossible to read that and not feel heartbroken for the lad.

He knows his body is failing him and it reads like he's going through a bit of a grieving process regards his career, this quote sums it up:

“What I have gained is a new perspective on my life and career and I didn’t really think about it nor get upset when I got released, I was just thinking about the next challenge. My spirit hasn’t been dampened, you’ve just got to go where the game takes you.”

I suspect he knows that he isn't going to get another chance at full-time football and is keeping positive about his next challenge.  But that burst of positivity only lasts so long.  There's going to be some regret and anger for him soon and that's painful as hell.  

Genuinely feel for the lad, don't think I've ever wanted a footballer to make it more than I have Max.

I found the most staggering thing in this that he has had to fork out money himself to 'find answers ' visiting various specialists. .
That is not a slight on Town ,Harrogate or Halifax - just something I thought clubs would cover the cost of .

Seems the Halifax manager thinks a lot of him, maybe they'll take him on a pay as you play type contact.

I guess to some extent they do but I do remember when he was here last year, Hurst alluded to the fact that some of it could well be a mental health issue, fear/anxiety of getting injured, perhaps that’s what he’s also been looking for answers too.

Halifax might take a punt on him as he’s clearly well thought of but I guess he’s coming to terms with the idea that league football is likely out of reach.

I guess clubs pay for an opinion or two, but you can't expect them to pay for a third, fourth and fifth.

Bundles of talent, and says a lot about him as a person that so many people want him to do well  from various clubs he's played for over the years.

I wouldn’t be too downhearted regarding super Maxi Wright. He already has a few irons in the fire and I’m sure all the love he still gets from folk will outshine the negativity. You can imagine the kid doesn’t need telling a million times about his injuries but has come off social media and is now in a better place and taking a well earned break abroad before his next exciting challenge

Good to hear, lobsterpot.

I took my lads to play crazy golf near Leeds a couple of months ago. Spotted Max with his girlfriend waiting to start but thought I would leave him alone to enjoy his game in peace. Then he spotted my 7 year old in a town tracksuit and said 'Wow a Mariner' or something along those lines and was really lovely with the kids. He is clearly a very decent lad and I really hope it pans out for him.

Quoted from Poojah

My favourite Max Wright moment at 7:10. Brilliant composure under pressure. He has all the talent needed to make it, but question marks over his body remain. I’d love him to get an injury-free season under his belt to show the world what he is capable of. Fingers crossed for the kid.

I think he got an injury from the knee slide?

Loved watching the lad, realy wish he could have an injury free season to see what he could be.
