Not unwarranted. Such an important figure throughout his life, of course you would shed a tear. In my eyes, the cap and the tears are like a double whammy of utmost respect.
Does anyone replay Mr. Pigden saying "Hello Ian! Long time no see." Like the warmth, the kindness, and love in his voice makes me wish I would've known him.
And you can hear in his voice that despite all his successes Ian will always be that sweet little kid learning to kick a football🥺❤️ his voice is literally the vibe of Cbeebies.

I can identify with this. I taught for 47 years ranging from preparing pupils for university whilst wearing an academic gown to lion taming scallies in a PRU in Liverpool. I had the honour to be one lad’s best man at his wedding but stood at the graveside of one of my lads who was out of reach and took 8 bullets to the chest. I am now 67 years of age and I am recovering from surgery for cancer but I feel privileged to have once been a teacher. Teaching is the best job in the world.
Wow... Sorry for the loss of the lad who got 8 to the chest. But you had to be one hell of a teacher to be made best man at the other ones wedding. Salute to you, sir. The world needs more people like you.
My condolences, I don’t think anyone deserves to go through that. I also could not imagine teaching, though the rewards seem to be amazing. I hope you recover well!
Don’t you guys hear the way Ian says “you’re alive?” Clearly Ian had taken out a contract on this man’s life and was under the impression that it had been completed.
Never laughed at a comment before in my life, until now.. you have won the section my friend and I can’t watch it with the same emotions as I did before I saw your comment 😂😂😂
@@tederiksin7783 nothing wrong with feelings you clown but there is no need to announce it to peope you don't know unless you're after like of like minded nerds
I had the privilege if speaking to Ian Wright about 10 years ago and he is one of the warmest people I've ever met, and the energy he emits is extraordinary. I was never a fan of Arsenal but I absolutely love this man.
And I loved how he was a couple of steps lower than Mr. Pigden so when he hugged him, it must have been like he was a literal child, with the height difference.
Spurs fan. The respect Ian gave to his former teacher was fantastic, top bloke. My mum was a dedicated teacher (pupils with reading difficulty), and she'd regularly get stopped by adults in public "you taught me to read Mrs P". What a feeling that must be.
My mom was a teacher's assistant. In 1985 she helped bilingual kids (English/Spanish) who were really behind. Now 35 years later, they still stop my mom and said that she made a positive impact on their lives. They visit her, talk to her. A couple of her students who were really behind in their studies, ended up going to law school. They always say it's because of my mom.
Ian had a bad home life...this brilliant teacher made him believe in his ability to be a great footballer and an even greater man....it restores your faith in the human race....may he rest in peace.
I'm a Newcastle follower and always liked Wrighty - there's nothing to dislike about the man and he remains a national treasure. Taking his cap off when he saw Mr Pigden tells you everything about Wrighty's character. Heartwarming to watch.
0:29 *To meet someone who’s impacted your life for the better, and you heard he was dead as well. You feel almost every emotion along the spectrum of human possibility and looking for the right words to say to this person. And he’s accepted he’s been gone for a while now, that’s just… Wow… incredibly moving.*
The best advert to get people in to teaching is to show videos of people reuniting with the teachers who changed their lives. Show the results of what teaching has already done !!!
One of the most beautiful, honest and sincere things I have witnessed I cried as a 66 yr old Aussie witnessing humanity and compassion at its finest ❤.. luv ya Ian and Mr. Pigden 🙏
This is possibly the purest video I have ever watched. I cant stop replaying it either. His face when he see's him for the 1st time again, the disbelief, taking his cap off as a mark or respect, the tears, the cuddle, the pain and joy in his voice at the same time!! It all just adds up to being so unfiltered and real. He goes from heartache for over 20yrs to sheer disbelief and then into pure joy then tears all within 10-15 seconds. Say what you want about Wrighty and the team he represented at the time....but you cannot take away his pure love and energy he carries with him. This is just a beautiful video. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried watching it. Several times as well. I keep coming back to it for some reason. Sheer Humility Wrighty ❤
Wow. And the teacher never got in contact with him in all those years. Always watched him from far proudly. Real heroes are like that. And Ian s reaction is great
You can't fake the shock, mutual respect and love with these guys. Teachers did and do have massive effects on kids. Especially if one sees potential or need and gives a little extra time or motivation to a pupil who hasn't necessarily been brought up in an environment most of us take for granted. That intervention can give a child confidence and skills that can be built upon to do things in life they would never have achieved. I had such a teacher, but it wasn't just me there were some of my mates who also were encouraged in skills that others teachers had ignored and written them off. Thanks Mr W,
The way he instantly takes off his flat cap, shows how much respect Ian shows to the people in his life. He damn near made me cry too. This is why he is such a legend. I love this, thanks for sharing.
Most people have a Mr Pigden in their lives. When I was old enough to realise this, my "Mr Pigden" is long gone. I cried like a bastard thinking about that!
Not even an arsenal fan ( Celtic man like KT) but even I choked up when Wrighty realised who it was & the respect he showed by taking his cap off shows just how much respect he had for the old boy
This is a beautiful video. I have the same sort of affection for a certain Mr Hoban from Tramore who was the first man to try and teach me, not terrorize me into learning off passages which had no meaning for me, at all, and if a asked a question regarding them I got beaten, where the teachers in The Tech actually took the time to explain them to us,
The most British "Long time no see" along with his reaction, taking his hat off etc, makes the whole scene looking like it's straight out of a movie ❤️
I cry everytime I watch this , doesn't everyone has a favourite teacher ?. A war hero goes on to become a teacher to take a young wayward kid under his wing and helps mould a genuinely nice guy and one of the best strikers this country has produced . Brilliant . Anyone who boos the taking of the knee needs to learn from this clip and watch the mutual respect these two have for each other .
I went to a school reunion a few years back , we had a teacher back then a Mr Hart who laid down strict discipline everyone was terrified of him , he was at the reunion and the respect shown to that man was amazing everyone was made up to see him , it was great to have a few drinks with him and give him a big hug at the end of the night ,
BLM has nothing to do with this. In fact, BLM has nothing to do with UK and is an endemic degenerate product of American culture. People in this clip had the luck to live in an era when noone was indoctrinating them about being oppressors or oppressed. Hence the mutual respect. Englishmen who take the knee to anything else than God, their country or their wife should learn from this clip and more from their own history in general.
You were good until you went into the kneeing stuff. There is no need for it. We all understand racism is bad. So let’s move on and make a change and not just pander to the masses and say ‘look ma, I’m making a difference, I can kneel’. Actually make a difference ey?
Man I still remembered meeting my high school French Teacher for the first time in 10 years last January. I broke in tears when I finally saw him because he's now blinded by birth defect but still remembered my voice. He practically taught me not just French, but linguistics in general, which enabled me to have a teaching and writing career. I've got so much respect for teachers I've become one myself. My prayer and good wishes goes to all teachers, and especially former students who holds their teacher in utmost respect and endearment
Wow what a topman Ian Wright takes his hat of and what a lovely man his teacher is softly spoken and crying and giving him a hug had me in floods of tears
@@MichaelJ44 Of course it's a nationality. Even the dictionary defines it as "The people of England." Michael, just go straight to your racist rant, we both know its coming. (Why do people like you ruin every heartwarming video)
@@TonyEnglandUK English isn’t an ethnicity? For someone who has England in their username, you sure don’t know a lot. Where did you get your education?
My mom was a teacher's assistant in an elementary school. Her job was Working with the 'underachievers'. She helped many of them improve academically. And no w 35+ years later they remember my mom and treat her with love and respect. One of her underachievers went to law school and another one is in management at Target.
This is why it’s so important for boys to have good male role models in their lives. Boys especially don’t do well when there is no male in the home. I was crying watching this 😢
It's truly remarkable to see a grown man turn into a child. The hug is on a different plane, holding of his pinky. He just melted into the young boy back in school. What a sweet reunion. As a man who grew up without a father, I wish I had this.
Wrighty finished his playing career at my club Burnley and he helped us get into the Championship in 2000. Even though he didn’t play many games for us his contribution was huge and without him we simply would not have been promoted. Thank you Wrighty…you are a Clarets legend.
World war two spitfire pilot and he flew over Buckingham palace on ve day . But was more proud of what Ian did with his life than any of his own achievements . What a legend RIP Mr Pigden .

His tears say's it all, the respect and love for his mentor.
The way he said Mr Picton & took his hat off to him. Such respect 👏👏👏
The respect that man had to take his hat off for a teacher says it all🙏🏾
No matter which team you support this kind of situation gives us tears 🤗🤗
This tears me up every time. I'd be the same if I were to reunite with my old teacher from Langley, Berkshire all those decades ago. Mrs Singer 🌹💕
I remember this, and it still gets me now😑
Listen to Ian’s voice right at the beginning of the introduction 👏👏👏
This is what you call respect 👍
Beyond Beautiful!
