Manchester City defender Micah Richards has revealed he hopes to
play for his boyhood heroes Arsenal one day in the future.
The 19-year-old centre-half has been superb for City in their
flying start to life under Sven-Goran Eriksson and he has also
performed well at right-back for England.
Richards was born in Birmingham and grew up in Leeds but the north
London side were his favourites as a child and his long-term goal
is to be a Gunner.
"I was a big Ian Wright fan when I was younger, so I supported
Arsenal," he told Nuts magazine.
"Wright and Patrick Vieira were my idols so yeah, if the
opportunity came to play for them one day I'd take it.
"But right now I'm concentrating on trying to keep City in the top
half, and we've got the players to do it."
