Ex-Magpie becomes a Vic

Dennis Pearce
Pearce, a strictly non-compromising left-sided defender during his Notts days, has slipped down a peg or two in a demanding reputation sense, making just 13 appearances for Peterborough post-Notts exit in his three-year stint at London Road.

A member of the record-breaking championship winning side under Sam Allardyce, Pearce failed miserably in his attempts to hold down a place in life after Meadow Lane, after a spell which saw Pearce turn out no fewer than 131 times for the Magpies in all competitions, scoring 7 goals.

Pearce, now 30, follows former Chester man, Martin Lancaster into the club in an attempt to stern up the Northwich rearguard, something the coup of a player like Pearce commands nothing but.
