Former Arsenal player Thierry Henry donned a dubious wig and specs to disguise himself as a teacher so he could surprise a Welsh student live on Sky Sports News.
Henry sauntered into the classroom and announced "hello I'm your new teacher" to shocked students at Pen-Y-Dre High School in Merthyr Tydfil.
