‘Sunderland will be relegated and Newcastle United exceeding expectations’ Stuart Pearce

Story updated

The story in brief

36-second read

Stuart Pearce has been talking about Newcastle United and Sunderland. Now 64, the former player and manager a media pundit. Stuart Pearce had an incredible journey, coming from non-league playing for Wealdstone and working as an electrician, all the way through to becoming the greatest left-back England have ever had.

The England and Forest legend eventually ended up at St James’ Park. That bizarre summer 29 years ago when ahead of the 1997/98 season Kenny Dalglish recruited Ian Rush (aged 36), John Barnes (aged 33) and Stuart Pearce (aged 35) for Newcastle United.

Dream signings if they had happened ten years earlier but…actually Stuart Pearce did alright for Newcastle United and I thought especially when playing as a central defender he still looked a very decent player despite the advancing years.
