Henry turns up in disguise to surprise student

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry dressed in disguise to surprise a school pupil with a Sky Sports Living for Sport award.

The Frenchman donned a wig and glasses as he pretended to be a supply teacher at Pen-y-dre High School in South Wales.

His cover was soon blown and he opted to live out his "dream" of telling the class to be quiet before handing over the Sport Student of the Year award for Wales to 16-year-old Emma Morgan.

"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," said Henry.

"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 and I'll be tuning in on Sunday to see which of our five winners picks up the overall UK and Ireland Student of the Year Award."
