Pearce Joins Talksport World Cup Team
Former England captain and Under 21s boss Stuart Pearce has signed with talkSPORT, to become part of the radio station’s on-air team for this summer’s 2014 FIFA World Cup.
talkSPORT will broadcast full commentary of every match of the tournament live from Brazil, which kicks off on 12th June – the third World Cup that talkSPORT has broadcast full coverage of.
Pearce joins a team that includes Stan Collymore, Jim Proudfoot, Ray Parlour and David Ginola.
Liam Fisher, talkSPORT programme director said: ‘I’ve never met anyone more patriotic and passionate about England as Stuart and there are few people with as much of an insight into the England set-up as he has. His honest and forthright punditry both for England and across the tournament will make him essential listening for any sports fan.’
Pearce added: ‘I’m delighted to be part of talkSPORT’s team for the World Cup and am especially looking forward to reuniting with my former teammate Stan Collymore out in Brazil. I have high hopes for England’s chances this summer and can’t wait to share all the drama from South America with talkSPORT listeners.’
England’s assistant manager for the 2010 World Cup campaign in South Africa earned 78 caps for the national team across a 12 year career, including helping England to the World Cup semi finals in 1990.
