When I'm walking down main to With my heart round your side

I collide up

Hello, thank you for listening to Not the Top 20

meets Nigel Pearson.

As ever, we're going to run through

Nigel's experiences in football.

He was a professional footballer,

a defender with Shrewsbury Town, Sheffield Wednesday

in Middlesbrough, a manager of course with Carlisle, Southampton, Lester Hull, Lester again, Derby

and most recently O.H. Loewan in Belgium. And in the early part of the 2000s, a first-team

coach or assistant manager with Stoke City,

West Brom, Newcastle and the England under 21. So a fascinating life in football and I'm very

grateful to you for agreeing to be the latest guest on this series.

My pleasure and when you, when I hear you talking like that, it just, it just shows how volatile the industry is, because as a player in 18 years, three clubs.

And as a coach and manager, plenty, I think, around 10 jobs.

So it just shows you that it's it's not straightforward to try and

work with a long-term mentality in the management game no absolutely well we're just really

excited to hear all of your experiences as much as we can fit in starting with just the last few months
