@HunterDuesing Meanwhile the movie is about to hit 800 million at the box office. Then there’s you, will never achieve anything quite so significant in your lifetime because if you could, clearly you’d have made a much more successful movie. Instead you’ve left us with this ridiculous tweet 🤡
When Stuart Pearce signed for West Ham in the summer of 1999, he was 37 years old and had just spent months being frozen out at Newcastle.
Harry Redknapp still wanted him.
Pearce went straight into the team, and only a few weeks later he was recalled by England for the European Championship qualifier in Poland.
That match took place on the Wednesday night.
Two days later, he was back at Upton Park playing against Watford.
During the first half, Pearce went into a challenge with Micah Hyde and immediately felt something go in his left leg.
He knew it was bad.
For the final ten minutes of the half, he kept trying to run on it, telling himself he might be able to loosen it up and carry on.
By the time the whistle went, the leg was getting worse.
Pearce went into the dressing room and sat down with the rest of the players.
The West Ham doctor looked at him and told him what had happened.
“Stuart, you’ve broken your leg.”
Pearce still put his boot back on.
He wanted to go out for the second half.
Harry Redknapp had to stop him.
“He tried to come back at half-time.”
“But there was no way.”
Pearce had fractured his left fibula and was expected to be out until January.
Five months later, Pearce returned for West Ham.
Within weeks, he broke the same leg again.
This time he was carried off against Southampton after getting across to block a shot from Hassan Kachloul.
Pearce was almost 38, and his contract was due to expire at the end of the season.
He thought his career might be over.
But Redknapp went to see him and told him West Ham would wait.
“We’ll stick by you.”
“Get yourself right, and there’ll be a new contract here for you.”
The following season, he played 42 games, scored three goals and was voted Hammer of the Year by the West Ham supporters.

@pureMetatron How on earth is it a better film? Even the people that made it and starred in it don’t think it was a good movie. It’s awful, it box office taking even reflect that compared the odyssey in its 3rd week has taken over 800m
What planet are you on? 😂
@dykn430 In Cyprus when I was a kid, had a motorbike accident. Being in my family’s village with no hospital near, my cousin said we’ll have to clean your wounds with something called Zivania, not the one you buy in the shop, the homemade one. I passed out, still bled, and went hospital
@EssexPR Didn’t Lucy Connolly an MP’s wife ask for hotels with people in them to be burnt down? Then when she was released from jail, wasn’t she welcomed as a hero by reform? Didn’t they say something about freedom of speech being a human right? The right is every bit as bad as the left
@LozzaFox Invent? No, he didn’t invent anything. Tom Mueller invented those rockets that can do those things you describe. I guess the person trying to make the point his followers aren’t that bright, you’ve just proven their point
@marac_95@neiltyson It’s far from accurate in regards to Greek history look and feel, but it really didn’t matter because the story was really deep and layered with lots of exciting set pieces that made the guy next to me jump out his seat a few times. But it didn’t matter because it is a fairy tale
@marac_95@neiltyson I watched it last night Marac and Page doesn’t play a great warrior, in fact quite the opposite, and yes a I think Helen was miscast, not due to race. But oh boy was that a good movie. It’s a shame Elon has tarnished a perfectly amazing movie. Pact cinema, people loved it
