I have never seen this before. The way Wrighty takes off his hat when he realizes who it is, is just so so pure. It feels like a movie scene x.com/thesportsish/s…
Fun fact: Mr. Pigden was also one of the youngest pilots during WWIl and was chosen to fly over Buckingham Palace when the war was over - but he once told lan that "he was more proud of the fact that lan played for England than him flying over the Buckingham Palace.
@NorthStGooner This episode is surreal, unreal but real. It’s laced with real, genuine emotional expression the movies have made a fortune from over decades. It is always better and purposeful when it’s real. Bless them both!
@NorthStGooner @terrywaddy Very moving tbh . Shows what can be achieved
@NorthStGooner Ah man, every time, the desert island discs when he describes this and some of the stories with Rocky are amazing
@NorthStGooner @BeingBoycie I love how he removes his hat out of respect ✊
@NorthStGooner I’ve used this in staff meetings and in initial teacher training presentations I do. Teachers should never forget the power and the impact they have. I always speak to as many children as I can in a day because it might be the best interaction they get - it’s certainly mine!!
@NorthStGooner Omg... I love Wrighty. What an exemplary human being he is. Brings a tear of utter joy to my eyes🥺 and a huge warming in my heart💓 What a Gunner... what a man!
