STATEMENT: NIGEL PEARSON

It is with the deepest sadness and regret that we announce the passing of much loved sport commentator, presenter and journalist, Nigel Pearson, aged 52, earlier today.

We ask everyone to fully respect Nigel’s family’s privacy at this time.

All of our thoughts and love go to his wife Kerrie, daughter Sarah and sons Liam and Jake. A fuller tribute to Nigel will follow.

RIP Nigel Pearson
