Pearson Named Toon Number Two

Stuart Pearce has named Steve Wigley as his right-hand man for tomorrow's friendly with Romania at Bristol's Ashton Gate, but that leaves Pearson in a better position to give Newcastle 100%.

When Sam Allardyce brought in Steve Round it was thought Pearson´s days were numbered at St James´Park, but that is far from the case.
