Maybe one of our former heroes needs a padded cell.
After telling one of the Leicester fans to "F*** off & die" a few weeks ago, Nigel Pearson was involved in a bizarre incident on the touch line yesterday when he grabbed a prostrate Palace player by the throat the refused to let go of him when he tried to continue in the match. He followed this with a strange post match interview on the subject.
I was told yesterday of an incident in a Sheffield pub on Friday night involving Pearson, which involved him making threatening gestures at other people then making unprovoked "wanker" gestures.
It is quite sad to see one of our heroes like this. It looks quite apparent to me that he is suffering mental health issues and someone needs to help him before something terrible happens.
He appears to be no longer capable of managing a football team & when Leicester sack him (as seems inevitable), I hope there is someone there for him to get his life back on track.

The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
