-------------------------------
Mark Wright had been one of England's best performers during the World cup in 1990 and his star was shining bright both for Derby and England. Derby had shattered their transfer record to buy Wright from the Saints for £760,000 in August 1987. Souness brought Wright to Anfield to become Liverpool's defensive lynchpin. Wright did not have happy memories of Liverpool as Southampton had finished League runners-up three points behind the Reds in the historic 1983-84 season and he broke his leg after a clash with Bruce Grobbelaar in the 1986 FA Cup semi-final which Liverpool won 2-0. Souness named him captain in the absence of Ronnie Whelan, resulting in him lifting the FA Cup trophy at the end of his first season. His Liverpool career did however not get off to the best of starts, he got injured only two games into the season and was sidelined for 3 months. After a run of bad results in October the following season, Wright lost his place to Torben Piechnik along with his captaincy and had to settle for the bench. He returned in December and stayed in the starting line-up for the majority of the games until the end of the season.
The 1993/94 season was the last of Souness' reign and almost became Wright's last season as well. He had not played since March because of injuries and in pre-season 1994, Evans criticized his poor form and attitude publicly. Wright returned in the 1995/96 season, clearly rejuvenated. His performances were of such high calibre that he made an unexpected return to the England national team at the age of 33, but an injury ruled him out of Euro 96 at the last minute. He was a master of bringing the ball out of defence and dominant in the air. Unfortunately his injuries caught up with him in 1998 and he had to retire from the game, after enjoying the best two-year spell of his career.
