er yir macaroon Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Pearson is doing the right thing making as much money as he can. A bit of a throwback to players with a poor touch but a good engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davew Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Career HighlightsWinner, PFA Scotland young player of the year award, 2003-04. This one is a big deal. Almost all past winners have went on to win full caps, and most recent winners have moved to the EPL shortly after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingjoey Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I met stephen in the Clifton Hotel, Bristol, a couple of New Years ago. Seem to recall he was playing for one of the Bristol fitbae teams. Cannot remember to much of the conversation mind, a bit boozy, being the New Year.
