The son of Ex-England footballer, Stuart Pearce, has been identified as the young man who died in a tractor crash in the Cotswolds.
Harley Pearce, 21, died at the scene of the collision on Old Birdlip Hill, A417, in Witcombe, near Gloucester, on 16 October, according to Gloucestershire Police.
Harley, from Marlborough in Wiltshire, was the younger of Stuart Pearce’s two children. Pearce earned 78 England caps and later served as caretaker manager of the national team in 2012.
In a statement released by police, Harley’s family said: “Our family is truly shocked and utterly heartbroken at the loss of our cherished son and devoted brother, Harley.
“A soul who left an unforgettable imprint on all who knew him.
“He was a golden boy with an infectious smile, and this shocking tragedy will leave a huge hole in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known him.
“With a quiet, understated strength and deep kindness, we are so proud of the young man he had become, exhibiting a wonderful work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit in the farming industry.
“He will always be our shining star. Rest in peace, our beautiful son and brother. You will never ever be forgotten.”
Police said the family have asked for privacy.
Officers are still appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage from the area at the time of the collision to come forward.
