FORMER Leicester and Watford boss Nigel Pearson revealed today that he was “learning to walk again” because of a neurological condition.
Pearson said in an interview in October just days before he was sacked by Bristol City that he needed a back operation, but was also being affected by a “neurological situation.”
The 61-year-old had been using crutches since the previous month and now he has opened up on the extent of his illness.
