Heartfelt tributes and condolences have been flooding in from all corners of the football world following the death of former player and coach Craig Shakespeare.
Shakespeare, 60, was diagnosed with cancer last October and it was confirmed on Thursday evening that the former Walsall and West Brom man had passed away.
Pearson said:"It's difficult to put into words how I, and indeed everyone who came across or worked with Craig, will feel on hearing such devastating news. Further spells at Grimsby and Scunthorpe following, before he ended his playing days with Telford and Hednesford Town. He worked with the first team and then in 2006, following Bryan Robson's departure, he spent four weeks assisting caretaker boss Pearson.
He then took up a role with England alongside his club role, before Sam Allardyce was sacked just one game in. A long list of figures have lined up to pay tribute to Shakespeare, including former Baggies defender Paul Robinson."My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friend at this difficult time."
