From Wealdstone onwards. Bobby Gould saw him play a match in non league football and saw him take out an opponent in lass than 10 minutes; in typical Pearce fashion, got up and basically said, "that'll do" and proptly left the ground and signed him to Coventry. The rest they say is history.
No disrespect to Sealey (RIP), but that was awful positioning for the goal! Pearce hardly had to bend it at all, and it certainly didn't go over the wall! I do remember Sealey making up for it late on with a brilliant save from a Clough free-kick though, so i'll let him off! ;-)
As a Red, no disrespect to Arthur Albiston, but I wished we'd had Pearce. We might have nicked a title from the Scouse.
He intimidated wingers with his fearless manner and scored a few belters like that every season.
BTW, excellent autobiography as well - worth a read. He's a nice bloke who wasn't even the best in his school, but made the most of his talent through sheer hard-work.
stuart pearce was one of the best free kick scorer in the last 25 years in English Football........he scored lot of goals being a defender, but unfortunately, he 'll be remebered as the player missed the penalty kick against Germany. Greetings from Malaga, Spain.
Agree with most of your post, but not all of it. For me, he'l be remembered for having the balls to put the missed penalty behind him and step up again TWICE at Euro 96 and slam both of them home.
Captainmarvel. i think pearce stayed on his feet and asked if he had something in his eye after he was butted by boli. He didnt roll around crying like a baby or get himself sent off for retaliation, he finished the game. thats hard, thats right. oh by the way you only spent 5 years trying to sign him!! still erwin was a good (long Yawn! & stretch.) player wasn't he?
Where he got head butted, didn't make a great deal about it (when most players now would have gone down like they were shot?)and then fired a freekick against the underside of the cross bar? Yeah, that sorted him out...
You wanker - waht fuck do you know - he was hard as fucking nails. If you remember, when he was headbutted by that French twat - did he make a meal of it, did he fucking roll around as though he was dying? NO he fucking got up and just carried on
When Pearce was headbutted by that French cunt, did he complain or fucking roll around as though he was dying? NO he got up and just got on with the game - he was as hard as nails!
what a dick. when that happened, psycho jus got up and carried on with the game. Would that happen if Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney or Drogba got nutted? NO, they would roll around like the little bitches they are. Theres not enough hard men like psycho and Roy keane left in the game, theres too many fannies out there, and the authorities protect them and let them get away with their constant cheating...pathetic!!!
BOLI SORTED HIM OUT DID HE? Boli nutted him from the(cowards) blind side because the French players had said to him that they were scared of Pearce after he put one of their wingers in the stand on the first tackle! Pearce didn't moan or complain but just got on with it! THATS HARD MATE! I would like to see you take him on! Hardest but one of the fairest players I have ever seen! Wish he was England captain now and then South Africa 2010 watch out! NFFC and England forever!
That goal came in the season after he missed the penatly against Germany in 1990. I remember the Stretfoird end jeering and laughing at him as he took his run up - I'm sure they were thinking if he can't score from 12 yards, what chance has he from 35?
When the ball hit that net, they went silent - what a great goal!
What a goal, what a game, what a day. Almost, but not quite, matching the FA Cup QF there in '89.
Am planning to put together a compilation of Pearce's best 'tackles' (McMinn, Leicester, McMahon, etc) if I can be bothered to convert my VHS to digital format anytime soon.
The tackle on McMinn, is that the one 90/91 were he knocks the bloke in the air with a slide tackle and gets up and pumps his fists in the air in front of the Forest fans??
Forests' win in the 1992 season near the end pretty much gifted us the title, for that I salute(only this once) to Forest, love to see those scum twats dicked. And that is one of the best free kicks I've seen!
Take that from England's best ever left back! Always forgave (not that there is anything to forgive)because you showed true emotion in 1990 not like some of the gumby's we have nowadays! Wish you were still playing!
Stuart Pearce the best left back england has ever produced, he wasn't a dirty player he was fair and never made excuses about being sent off he simply sat back and took unlike some of the players today who cheat and abuse linesmen and referees.
Was from about sept '90. The Stretford end were giving Psycho some stick over his penalty miss earlier that summer in the world cup. They soon shut up! Could anyone else have silenced a crowd in such fashion?
Marksims68 - another important goal from the man: P'bro away, April '94, stuck his head into a mass of flying boots and studs for the equaliser, in a game that took us back to the prem!
"who missed in Italy!? Stuart Pearce!" then takes free kick, (gasps around the ground) shut up scummers!

This for me is Psychos best free kick for Forest, at the Stretford end as well!
And who can forget the belter against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in the same season, a 35 yarder in off the post.
