“Stuart Pearce was absolutely fantastic. His presentation went down a storm! He was funny, friendly, engaging and took time out to answer questions at the end and also stood for around 90 individual pictures taken with our guests and himself …… all at his suggestion!!! After the presentation had finished he even went and had a go at the penalty shoot out with the lads!! I was amazed and delighted and told him so!!”
