Stuart Pearce spoke to England’s rugby league squad about their World Cup bid - but barely mentioned his own football heroics.
The legendary Three Lions star visited England’s training base in Wigan today as they stepped up their prep for glory. Shaun Wane’s side face minnows Greece at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane on Saturday when they expect to finish Group A with a 100 percent win record. Pearce, 60, knows all about big tournaments after going so close at Italia 90 and again at Euro 96.
Wane said: “He’s an impressive Englishman who’s very passionate. We’ve learned a lot from him. He presented to the group this morning and was really, really good.
