    This clip not only makes me emotional every time i see it, but it also resonates with me so much! I spent two years in an english school and suffered horrible racial abuse, bullying and alienation! None of the teachers ever stood up for me bar just one! My history teacher! Looking back, he would look out for me on the playground and whenever he could see I was close to having enough, he would call me over, and ask me history related questions knowing how passionate i was about the subject! But also because i didnt want to disappoint him! Great great man who Im still in touch with, and even had over for christmas dinner two years ago!
    School can be a tough place for many, but one role model can make a hell of a difference!

    I love this and can relate to it.
    I began my teaching career wearing an academic gown preparing lads for university and finished it teaching troubled lads 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.
    I am now 68 years of age and recovering from surgery for cancer but I owe everything to a teacher named Alan Jackson who fired a passion in me and inspired me.
    I am proud to have once been a member of the teaching profession.

      @wehustle clips The full documentary is set to private. Is there another way to watch it?

      ​​@@michelericca6728t was 'Public' last week. Wonder why they've changed it
      Looking at their feed, most long (longer than a minute) videos seem to have been taken down. Maybe they can't be bothered any more. Shame.

    I love that he instinctively off his hat on seeing his old teacher. That's respect!

    That was a beautiful thing to see. His respect was instant and automatic. The shock profound. Just goes to show the importance of a father figure is. Especially to young men.

    Imagine how proud and emotional you’d feel when someone you have such respect for tells you they are so happy with what you’ve made of yourself

    The way he whipped his cap off shows how much he respected Mr Pigden. What a gent.
