One reason it's not seen these days is because our children have to worry about being blown away in their classrooms. On top of pressures from social media and bullying, it doesn't leave a lot of room for reflection I'd think.. unless of course, they're reflecting on their fear. It's not fair to compare today's children to children of past generations as there are no comparisons in our lifestyles. I'll be 61 this year, my children didn't grow up like I did and their children are even more disadvantaged. And I certainly didn't grow up like my parents did. Perhaps it's better to look for solutions rather than belittle today's youth or look back to the so-called good old days. We're all long past that...
Yeah we need the old days where the teachers stood their ground and showed a lot of love encouragement and was real with us aside from the others that weren’t good experiences I still want to give good dues where it deserves to be
I started to support Arsenal because I met Ian Wright in 1995. I was 9 years old. He was so nice to me and asked me questions about why i was there, about school, gave me an autograph and gave me a piece of chewing gum. He is a lovely man.
@@FezzyBigCatI feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with you in any way. I really do hope you're able to get past whatever it is that caused you to be that way.
If we all had that, we'd be a lot better off. Sad tht more than half don't & even worse, you're disparaged if you do in only one culture in Da Worldo! Guess which one. Lol. Blame us tho. HaHaHa
When a man that flew Spitfire fighter planes tells you he is proud of you, that is something. It's amazing to see the reverence and love in Ian's face.
That's what real men do. It is a sign of respect. A man would take his hat off as a sign of respect when entering a church, justice court, when he enters someone's home, when he sees a good friend and ALWAYS when in the presence of a lady.
Omg... his voice was so incredible. "Hello Ian, long time no see" angel voice, and Ian gave respect to him straight away, what a guy, its really touched 😢
😭😭😭I saw my childhood teacher after 20+ years in the supermarket and I just screamed, hugged her, and started crying. Life was so difficult growing up at times but I felt so loved by her that I could push for greater day after day beyond my circumstances. God bless her and all the compassionate dedicated teachers out there. Thank you ❤
What a fantastic clip. We should treasure him and all like him who taught us values. Not ideology and propaganda. But for me, Ian, when he saw the teacher, showed respect and took off his cap. God bless our teachers of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. You helped to make us better individuals.
@too_pale stupidity of people that chase after like.. by just copy a "nice" and "heartwarming" comment.. stupid generation. Sadly you can't really insult them here because its gonna be you that will end up banned.. already insult people doing this and got banned 24h..
The lovely thing is Ian kept in touch with him until he passed you can see the total respect he's got for his teacher glad they were reunited God bless Mr pigden

The big, fat tear that falls from the teacher's eye at the end and holding hands with each other, got me in my good feelings, big time!Looks like they taught each other lifelong lessons. Love this. Thank you for posting.
The way he took his hat off right away! It just told us how much that teacher meant to him, to give him such respect! We all have had that one Teacher, that meant the world to us that we never forgot! R.I.P Mr. Teed
I've watched this over and over again..... Tears of sadness... Of joy.... Of laughter..... Respect.... A true man.... Godly man.... Gentleman..... May God rest your soul.... God bless Ian
Ian took his cap of as a mark of respect…. What a wonderful reunion…. Good teachers make a difference…. He believed in Ian…. He taught Ian and showed him loyalty. Trust. Faith. Resilience. Hope. Kindness. Compassion…. And much more. Good teachers make this a better world one student at a time.
Even the most cinematic directors cannot produce a script of this magnitude. Their love for each other and the manner in which this original clip was captured will surely touch everyone's heart. Lots of love to Mr. Pigden and Ian wright. A true relation of a father and son despite their race, religion, age and backgrounds. Humanity prevails. ❤
I still remember my teacher miss mother 1983 1st time met her good lady this country is blessing i loved my child hood long live England gave my dad opportunity 1961
It's amazing how this teacher had such an important place in his life. Thanks to all the wonderful teachers in the world who have made such a difference in our lives
When people are the best versions of themselves…..this is what true admiration looks like…..my father always told me………it’s takes a lot of energy and thought to frown and be mad and angry……but it takes nothing at all to smile….glad i seen this video and to anyone who took the time to read this….i love you and your worth it! smile !
Geez, this is a very touching video. I literally saw this man instantly went back to being a kid again, all because of how much he truly respect his teachers. this is a very good video.
You can tell people has such a special relationship with the chowder, and it was like an angel that dropped out of heaven. Just for a moment may God bless you both always and forever more and Jesus Christ beautiful name, 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️🤗🤗🤗
@@steelcitydubberand if you observed well Mr Pigden even shed a tear..there is really a tear fall in his left eye...oh my what a beautiful soul.he may rest in peace
My grade six teacher became my best friend and father figure for more than 30 years and passed away 7 years ago. He was the most amazing person I’ve ever met. Remember, god always takes the special ones first to be his angels. RIP 🙏🙏
I was thinking that same thing! And though I grew up seeing that in my younger years. It’s sadly not something I have seen often lately…it’s to the point where it’s so rare, that removing a hat out of respect stands out more often than not doing so. It should and still be the opposite. But this was beyond heartwarming. We just need the right mentors and to stick to/continue with making good examples when it comes to human decency so it influences others. Sorry if I’m making zero sense….that just made me extra, extra emotional. The things I’m feeling inside are beyond what I can attempt to put into words.
I wonder if Ian Wright told him about the time he walked away from his own wife and children, or when he made false racism claims against Peter Schmeichel... Ian Wright everyone, maybe not such a nice guy after all...
People have their personal problems and everyone everywhere has a lowly dark side, and that’s why we should always see the brighter side to one another!
The moment he saw his teacher, he became that young boy again instantly. You can see the huge respect and overwhelming love for his old teacher..especially after thinking he had died already. This makes me emotional every time..❤❤❤❤
@helenlangvold3617 absolutely. Teachers can sometimes be the ONLY SOURCE of leadership, trust, respect, safety and often love that children have in their young lives. A teacher like this can be all it takes for a child to feel like he's worth something and has a future.
It’s a schoolboy thing, students aren’t allowed to wear their hats in the classroom. Seeing his teacher for the first time in years brought back memories.
Well its actually even more heartwarming if u know the background of these 2, the teacher mr pigden was the only one believing in him as a child and since ian had no father figure he was lucky to be able to take this man as his father figure
@@chadlayman2799he may not have said it but you could tell he would have done it. When he said that he was told his teacher had died, he was already starting to cry. It’s obvious how much the teacher meant to him.
Beautiful and profound, the effect this teacher had on Ian's life at a time when Ian desperately must have needed encouragement and validation in his existence, ❤😢
A reason Ian was so emotional was that Mr Pigden saw something in Ian as a child..he also saw him start getting into trouble so got him involved in the school footie team. Turned out he could score goals but couldn't officially play in the team as ge had no boots and no way his simgle mom could afford then. Mr Pigden bought him those boots. I remember him explaining all this and more on I'm a celebrity..he actually said Mr Pigden saved his life because he'd started getting into crime and said he'd have either got killed or spent his life in prison and that ALL he has achieved in life is because of this wonderful man .. they had kept in touch for yrs but Ian moved and they lost touch..then he heard he had died..hence the shock..he said Mr Pigden always took him to his home after the game where his wife would have a lovely tea set out..cakes too..he said he always went home with lots of cakes that she'd just baked too many of..He saud he'd let them down by not keeping in touch..ge was a pallbearer at his funeral as his wife had died a while ago.
When I were 15 I once met a guy one day that my mother told me had been stabbed and thrown over board on a finnish cruise ship. This man used to tuck me in when I were 9 years old. 2 weeks later that man cut of my right point finger with a dull bread knife.
Him breaking down, mr. Pigden tearing up...me just balling! I've seen this a couple of times before, but it never gets old.🥰 Rest in peace mr. Pigden.🙏🏽🕯🤍
Godspeed sir. If Mr. Pigden was able to make such an impact on a lad's life, praise him for him playing for England more than his time as an Ace, shows the humbleness in that man's heart. And I pray as an American I find somebody I can look up to like this. What a gentleman, rest well Sir ❤️
It would be remarkable to have teachers like this today !,[ts a shame what has happened to not only the curriculum is obscene and much sex and gender taking the place of real teaching !

Total respect. Look at that. Removes his hat. Goodness. Lessons to be learnt and what a role model

He was not only his teacher but as well his football coach

He was his father figure in place of an absent father. Struggling children all need teachers like Mr. Pigden.

It makes me cry. Wonderful.
Beautiful and profound, the effect this teacher had on Ian's life at a time when Ian desperately must have needed encouragement and validation in his existence, ❤😢
A reason Ian was so emotional was that Mr Pigden saw something in Ian as a child..he also saw him start getting into trouble so got him involved in the school footie team. Turned out he could score goals but couldn't officially play in the team as ge had no boots and no way his simgle mom could afford then. Mr Pigden bought him those boots.
I remember him explaining all this and more on I'm a celebrity..he actually said Mr Pigden saved his life because he'd started getting into crime and said he'd have either got killed or spent his life in prison and that ALL he has achieved in life is because of this wonderful man .. they had kept in touch for yrs but Ian moved and they lost touch..then he heard he had died..hence the shock..he said Mr Pigden always took him to his home after the game where his wife would have a lovely tea set out..cakes too..he said he always went home with lots of cakes that she'd just baked too many of..He saud he'd let them down by not keeping in touch..ge was a pallbearer at his funeral as his wife had died a while ago.
I love the fact that he take off his HAT to greet him and he get to see him before he pass away 💗
The tear that fell from Mr. Pigden's face on Ian's head when they hugged. Love's baptism. ❤
Ian Wright is an absolute legend and a gentleman
God Bless teachers that touch lives as this teacher CLEARLY touched Ian's. This was so beautiful I had to watch it over a few times. 💜
Amen. Thank you.❤
Amen.
You don’t get many but when you do it’s amazing.
@@Montycarlo10 there are many, most.
Woah now... less of the 'touching' stuff yeah?
So beautiful: "hello Ian" with the voice of an old, wise gentle angel ❤️
OMG, the way he took his hat off.😢 So much respect here between them. Had me in tears. Beautiful. ❤🙏😇👍
Wonderful when our childhood heroes stand the test of time. God bless you both. 😊
I love the way he takes off his hat to show respect to his teacher.. 😢
One of the best things on the internet. Authentic. Genuine. Uplifting.
Two gentlemen both served their country well 👏
Breaks my heart knowing he met someone he thought was dead and most of us will never get that chance. Heartbreaking
When I were 15 I once met a guy one day that my mother told me had been stabbed and thrown over board on a finnish cruise ship. This man used to tuck me in when I were 9 years old.
2 weeks later that man cut of my right point finger with a dull bread knife.
@@timjauhonen5624 that shaped your thinking, dont let it shape your existence
@@timjauhonen5624that sounds awful. Guessing your mother was just trying to protect you rather than hurt you.
I love the RESPECT HE GAVE him by taking off his hat.. This really touched me❤
yes it touched me as well ...
Him breaking down, mr. Pigden tearing up...me just balling! I've seen this a couple of times before, but it never gets old.🥰
Rest in peace mr. Pigden.🙏🏽🕯🤍
Beautiful. You see tears fallin from the old man when they hug each other ❤
Seeing the tear fall from his teachers cheek got me. So very beautiful ❤️
I was looking for this comment. That read hits home
Yup
Respect is shown immediately when he took his hat off. You just knew
Hats off Ian! True gentleman and great soccer player 🙏🙏
A true reaction from the heart ! Nothing else make my mail heart warmer !
I love the sign of respect right away. Hat off and right away addressed him as he did back in school days as mr pigden. Gave me chills
Godspeed sir. If Mr. Pigden was able to make such an impact on a lad's life, praise him for him playing for England more than his time as an Ace, shows the humbleness in that man's heart. And I pray as an American I find somebody I can look up to like this. What a gentleman, rest well Sir ❤️
Look close to u, look hard, that person is there mate.
Yes, every one needs a mentor like him who truly cares about their Spirit. Best of luck in your future endeavors
It would be remarkable to have teachers like this today !,[ts a shame what has happened to not only the curriculum is obscene and much sex and gender taking the place of real teaching !
@ritakenny1887 what's a gender? Lol very sad question to ask after 1000's of years.
