Thierry Henry adopted an unfamiliar disguise to surprise students at a school in Wales on Tuesday afternoon
|
Thierry
Henry was a surprise guest at a Welsh school on Tuesday, but rather than
appearing in his usual roles as a television pundit or footballer, the
Frenchman turned up as a supply teacher.
The
Arsenal legend was on hand to give Pen-Y-Dre High School student Emma
Morgan an award live on Sky Sports News, and went undercover with an
easy-to-see-through disguise as he took the teacher's place at the front
of the classroom.
The
Sky Sports pundit wore a black wig and glasses in an attempt to fool
the class in Merthyr Tydfil, but quickly revealed his true identity once
the students cottoned on.

Henry was
appearing on his first appointment as a Sky Academy Ambassador, handing
out the Sky Sports Living for Sport Student of the Year award for
Wales.
The
awards celebrate the achievements of students and teachers in using
sports stars and the skills learnt through sport to build life skills
for young people. An overall winner, picked from Emma and winners from
England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, will be
decided on Sunday.

Henry said:
'Emma is a fantastic example of the effect Sky Sports Living for Sport
can have on young people and I’m delighted to present her with the
Student of the Year award for Wales.
'The
life skills learned through sport can be applied to all areas of life
and Emma managed to turn her life around and reach her potential since
being involved in Sky Sports Living for Sport. She’s a deserving
winner.'
