Great video. The surprise on Ian Wrights face and the instant respect he has for the man (took his hat off) was wonderful to see. Just shows you that Mr Pigden reached him as a kid and his input must have helped set Ian on the path he took. The man must have a lot of pride in seeing Ian Wright doing so well.
