This is ridiculous, flipping 61yr old man weeping for a second time after watching a Wrighty doc! He lives in my manor, 5 min away, so we see him quite regularly and he's exactly as he is on Tv, friendly, humourous an all-around good guy. well-done Ian, proud of you man. 👏🏾
I've always been a diehard Liverpool fan, and growing up as a kid, my bedroom walls were covered from top to bottom with posters of LFC players out of Shoot and Match. All except one space, which was dedicated to Ian Wright. Loved him then and love him now. Infectious personality and someone you're always rooting for.
I was a young Man Utd fan at the 1990 cup final and didn’t really know who was who in football. When Ian Wright was warming up my dad told me we were in trouble if he comes on. I’ve been a fan ever since and enjoyed his career and all the goals. It’s criminal we didn’t see more of him for England.
I'm 57 and out of all the Arsenal players I seen come and go, his always been my absolute Arsenal Legend, I don't think even he truly knows how much he is loved by the Arsenal Fans. He was never this pompous up himself look at me. He was an absolute character. I remember being at Islington Townhall it was the FA Cup Parade, I was by the barriers where quite a few disabled kids were, I remember being really disappointed as we tried to get handshakes and autographs and the players just waved and hurried into the Townhall. Not Mr Arsenal oh! no. He leaps the Barrier and makes the point of hugging the disabled kids in their wheelchairs, I remember grabbing my chance grapping Ian's hand and saying we love you Wrighty and he shouts back love you too lol grinning from ear to ear. Not sure if thats the same year he hung the FA Cup off the Bus with scarves lol. Can also remember another time, he'd had a bad run of games, and the fans gave Ian a hard time, he went absolute bonkers and started screaming out of the changing room window at the fans, he flashed his arse at them Pmsl! Ian Wright Wright Wright Mr Arsenal Forever.
It's crazy this doesn't have more views. What a legend! And a great personality. To go through we he had to and to be as successful as he has been shows a huge amount of character.
The hard work and self doubt, and the struggle. Ian Wright you made it, self made man are always humble because the road have been so rough and painful.
Well said true!! Hey, snow flakes generation X demanding stuff for free I hope you watch this clip and learn. Life ain't easy and yeas hard work and dedication always pays off. Hats off 🙏🙏
This man is a fucking national treasure. I can't ever watch this without crying. From hearing about his childhood to Mr Pigeon, I really hope he knows just how loved he truly is in England.
You’ve got me in tears listening to Ian talk about his early life, Mr Pidgen and David Rocastle. David was My hero as an arsenal fan but I followed Ian playing alongside Mark Bright for Crystal Palace and was so excited when Ian signed for Arsenal and he didn’t disappoint and soon became my next hero. Thank you Ian for sharing this amazing life story with us. You deserve everything good that came your way ❤❤
Im a seventy seven year old great grandmother who used to live in England for over thirty years. I'm now retired and back in Jamaica my beautiful island. My son just sent me this about Ian and said mom you should watch this, I cried my eyes out watching it. Ian my boy I'm so proud of you. May the good lord continues to bless you and your family 🙏
I am an Indian based in India, watching this Ian Wright presentation in his own words made me cry, He is a Football legend of his own making. Honesty, Respect and Hard work that gave Ian Wright his place in English football cannot be challenged. Now as a football pundit whenever and wherever he speaks , i watch it very closely to understand whats he says and expresses about each game. Though he is totally biased and forthright about Arsenal, but the general demeanour is one of honest reaction. Well done Ian Wright- Keep the flag of honesty flying for a long time
It’s not that often you watch films, interviews and documentaries and you get very emotional inside that it brings you to tears. This got me to the core I’m not gonna lie. I kind of understood what ian went through as a kid from south London myself being of mixed race and having a passion for the game, didn’t work for me , got close but hey hoe ! Saw it so many times with lads not making it and going down a risky path. But Ian’s journey is just fairy tale, man you deserve everything you’ve fought for. Topman, always believe in yourself ………
It says a lot about Mr Pigden why Wrighty is loved so much, he instilled in him values that makes humans what they really should be, every time I see the moment when Ian takes his hat off on encountering his mentor it gets me every time! that is the amount of respect and adoration he had for that man. Wrighty is a legend to many but Mr Pigden is a legend to a legend. ❤
@@darrenrobertw Thanks buddy, didn't say it for the likes, just that it touched me to the deepest core of my heart that I felt compelled to say something, was like watching a scene from an epic movie only what made it so much more special is that is was real! have a great one 👍
Me too dude, and as a die Spurs fan I have to admit to getting a bit upset as the reuniting he has with his old teacher and how his voice drops as the emotions come through get me every flipping time. What a man What a player
I cried with him too. I saw the short with him and his teacher and this just showed up on feed. This is a real teacher moment. Thank God for the love of teachers and children who are willing to listen and feel the love that we share.
REALLY impossible to dislike you Wrighty. You were silently one of my heroes like forever mate...And I'm a Manchester united fan buddy. Just wished we could sign you always but only later on discovered your immaculate personality. Just straight love and respect for you mate. Not much else to say. May God bless you and may we have you as a pundit for 50 more years to come. Love from South Africa. 🇿🇦❤️💯😎
This guy was thorn in many games against my club especially at 2 cup finals in the 90’s at Wembley! However years & years later I came to like the man Ian Wright stands for & still is, complete gentleman & genuinely nice guy. (Owls 💙🦉💙 fan)
This was “WOW” I had no idea of the emotions this segment would bring out ! Ian Wright you have a new fan ……the raw emotions had me crying. We all start somewhere good or bad and we all need that one person or group that will believe in us and give another person a life line .I didn’t grow up watching Football, but I’ve watch now and have seen you in different interviews.I understand now why it’s called “The Beautiful Game “!Thank you for the honesty and the tears ❤
This beautiful man Mr. Pigden supported his students and genuinely believed in them and their dreams. I saw the clip of them reuniting as a kid and knew right then I wanted to teach. I’ll only ever be half as good as him, but that’s far more than enough
All children deserve love and kindness, guidance and encouragement. It is unforgivable to cause a child distress. Childhood shapes the adult you become. It takes a special effort and genuine need to change that shape. Thank goodness for Mr Pigden. ❤❤❤
This is a real man. So happy to have seen him play and score so many goals. Arsenal legend, football legend, human legend. Rocky is still loved and still missed.
A wonderful human being who can stand proud at his achievements given the harsh childhood he had. For the fact he achieved so much but gave so much more back is a credit to himself. A first class human being. Respect from a Celtic fan 🏴
This man commands your attention. He’s so honest. He should go into politics. He’s so down to earth too. To say what you man and mean what you say is so refreshing. And he’s meeting with his old teacher Mr Pigden is a real tear jerker.
This guy was my hero growing up. I met him a few years back and he is one of the nicest and most humble guys you could ever hope to meet. It was a book signing and when I joined the end of the queue a girl with a clipboard told me “mr wright is about 30mins over schedule so you may not get to see him” but he wasn’t going to leave until he’d spoken to everyone. I remember him getting in trouble with George Graham for throwing shirts to fans out the dressing room window at Highbury. People’s champion, absolute giant of football and a bona fide legend.
As a life long palace fan who clearly remembers your introduction 'new signing from Greenwich borough' whilst stood high up in the holmesdale I would like to say - Thank you Ian for all the wonderful memories. Totally genuine fella & one of the best players I've had the privilege to watch ❤
I've always disliked Arsenal with a passion, but I have to say this fella is a diamond, I can relate to his childhood, although mine wasn't as tough, he is undoubtedly a true inspiration, fair play to you Wrighty
Mr Wright. You just made me cry like a baby my man. Believe you me my friend. If the world all had dads like you in these crazy times it would be a better place. ❤be good
Diehard Leeds United fan. Ian Wright was my hero as a kid even though I was more rugby than football. The best English striker of his time. Offered something different. Fantastic bloke from everything I have seen. Should have had 40-50 more England caps. First in my team in the 90s.
Ian was the man back then and still is today!!!! To be able to give us the joy we had as children watching him, to him now being able to be infront of millions and show his emotions as a man....priceless
I dont care either way for famous people, ive met my musical favourites etc and im a lifelong gunner, have no interest in meeting modern pampered footballers but to meet Wrighty would be enough...he's the fuckin man, no footy fan can deny it....
My son and his father love football. I did not know that there are people as human, as gentle, as honest, as lovable as this gentleman. Thank you so much for this interview; I understand the passion a bit better now.
As a Liverpool fan, he was always my favourite non liverpool player, because of his personality. The world would be a great place if everyone was like Ian Wright.
That feeling when people recognize you as a professional player and ask you for ur signature for the first time man that feeling my life is moving happiness and sorrow
I’m a 38 year old grown man with responsibilities, see my self as a tough guy and cried like a fucking 12 year old girl to this…what a story and what a guy…🙏🏻🫡
Will never understand how a man knows he has kids out there and not be bothered how they are doing, financially, emotionally, my dad did the same thing never really saw him, on his deathbed he did ask for our forgiveness, which I accepted
I am a person who is a result of these experiences in my childhood. There’s so much that resonates with me but if anyone out there is also struggling, I have learned that as you get older, whenever you realize all the layers and facets of events, you answer parts of the questions at a time. I would offer this as just one discovery: just because some people don’t love you, never loved you, never will love you, even though it’s something you would expect from them (i.e. a parent), that doesn’t make YOU unlovable. How someone treats you is a reflection on them, not you. These are 2 completely separate things.
Ian .. There's an army out there .. That love and want to hug that little boy .. You are a legend .. I'm Everton and you inspire so many .. Well done fella x
I'm a SPURS fan from Melbourne Australia and gee I used to hate Arsenal and what they used to do to my SPURS but as I've got older and wiser and read and listened to what so many of these great Arsenal players have gone through I not only admirer them I RESPECT them unconditionally. If the world had more people like Ian Wright it would be a much greater place!
Sat and watched this with my 3 sons. What a humble honest and hard working man. A role model to others without a doubt. Impossible to watch this without getting emotional. I met Wrighty once as a 7 year old lad and I’ll never forget how kind he was to give me a moment of his time. Your a legend Ian.. a national treasure. God bless you
This is so profound and utterly emotionally moving to the core…. Thank you.. For the child in all of us who love this great game and who had people in our lives that believed in us….
It’s impossible to dislike Ian Wright. What a man ❤
What a story, really you are a legend 👏 🙌 🙏
As a Villa fan I hated him for 180 mins a season, the f'ker always scored against us, other than that he's an absolute gem
I totally agree , never a Arsenal fan , but what a footballer and a beautiful human being
100% true
@@davehopkin9502😂
Everyone needs a Mr Pigden in their life. 🤜🤛
I did not have one
Or more importantly a stable house hold and good parenting ✌🏼
@@johnmcintosh5413 Sure, that's the preference, if it's there for a child.
That clip gets me every time
@@johnmcintosh5413Yes, that too. You can never have enough positive influences in your life.
The Ian Wright story needs to be made into a movie. He’s life story is so inspiring!

You are a good man with a good heart. Nothing ridiculous about that. X
All fairness you wouldn't be human to feel no emotion from this Wrighty very inspirational man would love the chance to meet him
Moves me too tears everytime I've watched. Wrighty is an inspiration. God Bless him.
What area is that in
Me too!

Thanks for sharing. Hats off!
I wasnt at the Town Hall but i do remember him flashing the fans. If im not wrong, it was from the East Stand windows?
I miss Highbury 😢
This is a very beautiful comment and your good character shows.
It's crazy this doesn't have more views. What a legend! And a great personality. To go through we he had to and to be as successful as he has been shows a huge amount of character.
people don't value gems.. This is One

Well said true!! Hey, snow flakes generation X demanding stuff for free I hope you watch this clip and learn. Life ain't easy and yeas hard work and dedication always pays off. Hats off 🙏🙏
Wrighty and Klopp, people who bring more to football, honest, balanced, sincere and passionate. above all , proper human beings, much love ❤
True! Maybe my favourite two personalities in football
I really don’t think Wrighty knows how loved he is. Absolute icon.
Because everyone licks Henry's ass. He wasn't even given a statue and he's the clubs 2nd all time goalscorer. Pathetic.
This man is a fucking national treasure. I can't ever watch this without crying. From hearing about his childhood to Mr Pigeon, I really hope he knows just how loved he truly is in England.
I’m a rugby man, and this floored me. Hard work, luck, dedication

Incredible.
Love you Ian Wright.

As a Tottenham fan you were a pain in our side. 😂. But you are an amazIng man and a role model for younger people how to dig in and keep going.
I became an Arsenal fan in 1993, because of Ian Wright. He is still my favorite football player.
I cried with him too. I saw the short with him and his teacher and this just showed up on feed. This is a real teacher moment. Thank God for the love of teachers and children who are willing to listen and feel the love that we share.

So glad he made it. If anyone deserved to rise to the top it was Wrighty

Brilliant Ian. So great to hear your life from your own words. One of my most favourite strikers of my lifetime, utter genius!
definitely a movie to be made here..
I've always disliked Arsenal with a passion, but I have to say this fella is a diamond, I can relate to his childhood, although mine wasn't as tough, he is undoubtedly a true inspiration, fair play to you Wrighty
