Two England greats, one unforgettable afternoon. Nottingham Forest hero Stuart Pearce and Arsenal favourite Paul Merson bring a lifetime of football to The Queens Hotel this December.
Between them they’ve got stories to fill a season: World Cups and Euros with England, glory days at Forest and Highbury, and life since in the dugout and the Sky Sports studio. Expect the honesty and humour both are famous for.
It sells out every year. Superb food and two of the game’s most compelling characters: it doesn’t get much better.
An ideal festive treat for your clients, your team or a group of friends.

England icon
Stuart Pearce is one of English football’s most iconic defenders, known for his intensity and powerful left foot. A club legend at Nottingham Forest, he won 78 England caps and was a key figure in the squads for the 1990 World Cup and Euro 96. He later managed at club level, coached with England, and is now a respected and popular football pundit.
Arsenal legend
A favourite of the Highbury faithful, Paul Merson brought flair and imagination to Arsenal over a decade-long spell at the club. He won multiple honours with Arsenal, earned 21 England caps and played at Euro 92 and the 1998 World Cup. Since retiring he has become a well-known and respected pundit and commentator with Sky Sports, valued for his honest, straight-talking analysis.

Known as ‘Clem’, he is one of English football’s most familiar voices and a champion of the game beyond the Premier League. He is now in his third decade on BBC Radio 5 Live.
