Stuart Pearce, former Nottingham Forest and England defender, experienced a medical emergency on a flight from Las Vegas to London, requiring an emergency landing in Canada. While he is not fully recovered, Pearce remains in good spirits. His frequent commentary partner, Sam Matterface, reported that Pearce was receiving appropriate medical care and expressed disappointment over missed events. During a football match, Nottingham Forest fans showed their support by displaying a message for Pearce. Virgin Atlantic confirmed the emergency landing was necessary to prioritize Pearce's health and safety.
I spoke to him yesterday and he was in great spirits. He isn't 100% - that is definitely the case. But he's in the right place in the hospital.
Due to an unwell customer onboard, the VS156 on 2 March flying from Las Vegas to London Heathrow diverted to St John's International Airport, Canada and was met by the medical services.
He's a little bit disappointed about not being here today. He actually said to me: 'I've got so much I've had to cancel - great games...'
