@owlstalk Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Andrew Pearce (born 20 April 1966) is an English retired football defender. He spent his career in England, starting at Halesowen Town, then moved to Coventry City and, after three seasons at Highfield Road moved to Sheffield Wednesday where he achieved cult status following his goal against Sheffield United in a memorable 3-1 victory at Hillsborough. He also helped them reach the semi-finals of the Football League Cup in the 1993-94 season, when they also finished seventh in the FA Premier League. In November 1995, he moved to Wimbledon for £600,000 but played just seven times for them 1995-96 season and was never selected for the first team again after that season, although he remained on the club's payroll for a further three seasons before he was finally given a free transfer. He completed his playing career with a two-year spell in the Isthmian League with Aldershot Town before finally retiring as a player in 2001.

manicowl Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Lost any brownie points he had when he laughed off missing the pen against Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first Wednesday shirt I ever bought, Still have it today, well worn but still in good condition. It still fits, just. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Andy Pearce and Peter Atherton. We replaced the likes of Pearson and Nillson with these two. Now don't get me wrong, Atherton and Pearce were good. But never quite the same calibre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brinsworth Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I really liked Andy Pearce when I was young, I’ve no idea if he was any good or not though. Seem to remember he used take free kicks sometimes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Epitome of all that is wrong with our fans for me. Heroes made of of complete Donkeys just because they "Get Stuck in!" or run around a bit. Andy Peace was one of the worse players ability wise I have seen in the shirt in over 40+ years of watching em. Not doubting he was an honest profressional who gave his all, but to go from the quaility we had previously to him was a sign of where the club was heading and most of the fans were blinkered to it. Totally makes me cringe when likes of Pearce, Atherton and Nolan are fawned over on here, Crap players and poor management choices started the years in the wilderness, Let hope we don't go down the same path again.
