PSYCHO THE ROCK STAR

Stuart Pearce has been to more than 300 Stranglers gigs – now he’s in one of their music videos, too.

The West Ham coach has long been a fan of the rockers and was invited to star in their video for This Song. “When The Stranglers make you an offer you can’t refuse... you can’t refuse,” Pearce explained, with unfailing logic.

The 59- year- old mouths lyrics while walking aggressively towards camera, as if he’s just taken a penalty against Spain. He takes a jacket off and puts it back on again – it’s all going on – and even gets chased by a group of blokes, although it looks suspiciously like he’s replaced by a stunt man for the leap off a building. He loves The Stranglers, but not enough to break his leg and miss Leeds United away.
