The son of an English football legend lost control of his car on a country road near his family home in Wiltshire last Thursday. Gloucestershire Police confirmed he sadly died at the scene in Whitcombe.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency services were called to a collision involving a tractor on the A417 Old Birdlip Hill at around 2.30pm. Police confirmed Harley&#8217;s parents Stuart and ex-wife Liz were alerted and were being assisted by specialist officers. Investigators are appealing for anyone who witnessed the accident or has dashcam footage of the incident to come forward.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Police are investigating a possible tire blowout that may have caused the Harley to leave the road.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our family is truly shocked and completely heartbroken by the loss of Harley, our beloved son and devoted brother. A soul who left an indelible mark on everyone who knew him,&#8221; the Pierce family said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was a golden boy with a contagious smile, and this shocking tragedy will leave a huge hole in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to know him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are so proud of the man he has grown to be, a man of quiet, unassuming strength and deep kindness who demonstrated great work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit in the agricultural industry. He will always be our shining star. Rest in peace, our beautiful son and brother. You will never be forgotten.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Harley was the youngest of Stuart and Liz&#8217;s two children. The couple also had a daughter, Chelsea, during their 20-year marriage before separating in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Hurley ran his own company, Hurley Pearce Agricultural Services, and worked on farms around the Wiltshire\/Gloucestershire border.<\/p>\n<p>His father, Stuart, was a popular footballer in the 1980s and 1990s, winning 78 caps for England while playing for Nottingham Forest, West Ham, Manchester City and Newcastle United. He is now a regular pundit and commentator at English and Premier League matches.<\/p>\n<p>In March this year, Stuart said he suffered a health scare on a flight from Las Vegas to London and had his heart &#8220;restarted&#8221; by hospital staff after the plane was diverted to St. John&#8217;s, Canada.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2123596\/stuart-pearce-son-dead-aged-21\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stuart Pearce&#8217;s son Harley has tragically died at the age of 21 in a tractor crash.
