The Last Chance: Can Mark Wright make it as a pro at Crawley Town?

BBC Sport follows TV personality Mark Wright on his journey with League Two side Crawley Town as he pursues his dream of playing professional football.

Mark was a teenage Tottenham Hotspur youth team captain and also had stints with the West Ham and Arsenal Academies, but he failed to break into the first team at Spurs and eventually played non-league before focusing on a career outside of football.

Now, at 33, he wants another shot at professional football, and on 10 January he made his debut for Crawley, coming on as a late substitute in their 3-0 win over Leeds United in the FA Cup third round.

Watch the first two episodes of Mark Wright: The Last Chance, available now on BBC iPlayer.
