Stuart Pearce is a former defender for the England National Team. He is 53 years old. He is, we believe (though we have not sorted through every person) the only person nicknamed "psycho" to ever receive a knighthood.
Here's what we're getting at: Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce MBE, a.k.a. "psycho," is back. He's coming out of retirement for non-league team Longford AFC, which is — according to the BBC — the worst team in all of England.
Pearce was actually quite the footballer back in the day. He earned 78 caps for the England National Team, scoring five goals. He appeared in 746 club games for Wealdstone, Coventry City, Nottingham Forest (where he spent the majority of his career), Newcastle, West Ham and Manchester City, scoring 82 goals in the process. (not bad for a defender).
If you're wondering how much fun this will be to watch, here's a little video that explains Sir Psycho's career. Gird your loins.
Oh My God Stuart Pearce You Shouldn't Do That
Well, that was informative. So he should fit right in at a non-league side.
