 ... since they were 8 years old, he has had to work for all he has got, being picked from the non-league scene to a regular for England. Not bad at all. Along the way he had picked up plenty of stories, especially with Clough, such as an away game at Millwall, notoriously tough area where Clough made the Forest team walk the last 250 yards to the ground through all the fans away from the safety of the team bus, and many more. It will clearly help having an interest in football, though not essential but it does help to k...more

Premium Review Psycho - Stuart Pearce: ENGLISH PSYCHO (841 words)

What people remember of Stuart Pearce can be summed up in two penalties. The first against Germany, the semi-final of Italia ’90 where he and Chris Waddle missed to put England out, then in Euro ‘96 against Spain he clear delight at scoring. Those images are etched with me, and others I am sure, but there is more to the man than those two moments. ‘Psycho’ can be a representative of his character as a player, but is also the title of his autobiography. I really don’t like it when pop stars or footballers release a best selling autobiography in their mid-twenties. What can they have achieved in that time? Stuart Pearce has been ...  Read the complete review

Psycho, that is a phrase that could be applied to my so-called pet giraffe, Geoffrey the mad mohican giraffe. But it also happens to be the nickname of one of England's best-loved footballers of recent times. Coventry, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle, West Ham and now Manchester City have been and are being graced with his presence, not to mention at the start of his career, non-league Wealdstone. A man that has been managed by Brian Clough, Kevin Keegan, Glen Hoddle, Harry Redknap, Ruud Guillit and Bobby Robson; I don't think you could find a more charismatic list, especially when you add Bobby Gould. Oh and I am forgetting that penalty miss in the world cup of ...  Read the complete review

Psycho - Stuart Pearce: 'Psycho' The Autobiography of Stuart Pearce (113 words)

You don't have to be a West Ham or Forest fan to buy Stuart Pearce's autobiography, it appeals to all audiences....even German penalty savers in 1990. From his early playing days, through his brief managerial period at Nottingham Forest and unhappy time under Ruud Gullit all the way to the present at the happy hammers of Upton Park. A true English legend who always plays with his heart on his sleeve and is a big hero of mine. I'd recommend this book to absolutely anyone as it's a brilliant read and gives a true, honest insight into professional football and most importantly.....the tricks and trades of Brian Clough! ...  Read the complete review
