During Saturday’s lunchtime kick off between Forest and City – two of Pearce’s former clubs – supporters stood for a round of applause in the third minute.
‘Get well Stuart’ was displayed on the big screen at the City Ground, and the TNT Sports commentators also paid tribute to the legendary defender.
Pearce, 62, wore the number 3 for many of his former clubs and when playing for the Three Lions too.
The icon of the English game played some 460 times for Forest, winning to League Cups with the club.
While it was Manchester City where he ended his incredible career, playing just one season with the Cityzens and making 43 appearances.
Forests official X account also tweeted “Psycho” with a love heart on the third minute, a tribute to Pearce’s nickname during his playing days.
THIS IS A DEVELOPING STORY..
