England football legend Stuart Pearce is set to come out of retirement aged 53 in a bid to transform the fortunes of a struggling non-league side.
Nicknamed Psycho, the former Nottingham Forest defender played in a World Cup semi-final in 1990 but has signed for a team dubbed "the worst in the UK".
Longford AFC, based in Gloucestershire, have lost all 18 games this season, scoring one goal and letting in 179.
Pearce said the grassroots game was "essential" to the sport's lifeblood.
