On stepping back from the show this time he said he wanted “to do a few more different things with my Saturdays” after turning 60.
And one of those other things looks to be an acting gig.
The legendary Gunner will appear in the new Netflix film called ‘The Kitchen’ which comes out on Netflix on January 19.
The film is directed by Daniel Kaluuya and Kibwe Tavares and set in a futuristic London.
It also stars Kano of Topboy fame.

Some even went as far as saying he could be the new judge after speculation that Craig Revel Horwood would quit.
Ian Wright will still be on Match of The Day until the end of this season, and will be hoping that Arsenal‘s title push could provide him with the ultimate parting gift.
