The fact Ian Wright adopted a kid when he was practically a kid himself, before he had even made it as a professional.. that says a lot about the man Ian Wright. Legend.

[amselitetv]

Ian Wright is amazing. Adopting two kids at 19 is hero stuff

[cactusjames]

Was anyone else dead worried this channel would die after the season, what a delight this is man

[suryahmrai]

Carra holding back tears when talking about his son playing and looking to him for help… that’s a good dad right there, acknowledging how to be a better man for his son. 35:19

[alexolley]

Jamie.. never loved you, never hated you but can I just say, the way you spoke about activities you would do if your son couldn’t play again was amazing!! Shows no matter what, you’re a great dad 👏 Pete and Wrighty both amazing but that story in particular hit me. Great show, great dads and very lucky sons.

[Jamesss]

Wrighty is such a legend man, could listen to him all day

[cliveray]

Best thing I have watched in along time. I found quite emotional. Wrighty what a legend adopting Shaun at 19 years of age proper man.

[jimbobwaffle-]

The fact Shaun Wright-Phillips isnt actually blood-related to Ian Wright, and still became a professional footballer, is an incredible testament to how Ian raised him. When we see sons of famous footballers get to a high level themselves, we tend to presume it's largely down to genetics. Just goes to show that with the right coaching and nurturing anything is possible for young kids

[buffywhatever]

Worked with Ian in Manchester years and years ago and his sons came to the studios where their dad was working. What a bunch of brilliant people, Ian is EXACTLY like you see him on screen and his boys were lovely. ‘Good lads’ 😂

[warriorrob]

Every parent should watch or listen to this. Had me tearing up doing the grass as my 2 year old was waving at me through the window😂

[PaulTraces]

That’s powerful stuff Jamie talking about his own son’s injury experiences, fair play to him for being honest about it.

[StevePorter]

As Jamie Redknapp would say
'Peter Schmeichel is like a father figure to Kasper Schmeichel.'

[tashrif]

You can see how proud Peter Schmeichel is of Kasper. And its very rare that both father and son have had decorated careers.

[ferociousfrankie]

Wholesome episode. Jamie's story with his son's injury is gut wrenching.

[YerryMina]

Listening to Jamie here brought a tear to my eye. Proper parenting that.

[hastyhalfwit]

Wrighty’s honesty is so disarming. He’s a total national treasure.

[Successfulmindsae]

Wrighty looks so good for his age, a pleasure to listen too

[wolfbrother]

Some players, regardless of rivalries, are just so likeable. Ian Wright is one of those people that you can't help but love, seems so genuine and a really nice guy

[jack]

Jamie Carragher blew me away with this! What an Amazing Dad

[OhTyZer]

Glad to hear the FULL story behind Ian Wright and his teacher Mr. Pigdin
