A born leader. Had he gone to Man utd, well as Ferguson said-
He's have been a legend, up there with the greats at Old Trafford
So what do you think the best striker in Europe would have gone onto do for Man Utd you absolute cretin. Pearce was decent. Not anywhere near the best. Shearer was. And he won his only league title with my small club.
