Nottingham Forest legend Stuart Pearce is to lace up his football boots once again in a bid to transform the fortunes of a struggling non-league side.

Pearce - nicknamed Psycho - is to return from retirement at the age of 53 to play for Gloucestershire-based Longford AFC in a match next Saturday.

The club has previously been branded "the worst team in the country" after a season-long losing streak.

Pearce was due to make his debut for the side last month, but the game had to be postponed due to bad weather.

The club announced Pearce a new date for his debut over social media.
