Dreadful news. Nigel was a gem of a man, always friendly and helpful. He will be terribly missed. Many, many condolences to his family.
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.

One of the big differences between football and rugby...no gloating in victory at the final whistle. Fair play to them. Lot more respect between players in rugby.

“I am an Aston Villa supporter of 53 years and I am 0ver 60 now, just like to say I remember watching Duncan in 1975 against us.
What a loyal true legend of Norwich city , wish there was more like him today RIP.”

Ian Culverhouse told his

Today I slowed to a stop to avoid a young game bird on a country road. But the vehicle coming the other way didn’t even slow down. Luckily the bird lost only a feather or two. The other driver gets my Arsehole of the Day award. Well done both

Don't know who thought the traffic changes at top of Rouen Road were a good idea. They are not. They are appalling. Truly appalling. And dangerous. Norwich is a bloody awful city for drivers.
