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.

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.

I have said it once and I'll say it again Ian Wright is a gentleman and a legend...

The way he hugged his teacher was so cute

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 !!!

"and I'm so glad you've done so well with yourself" welled up when I saw Wrighty like that

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 ❤

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,
