The vastly experienced presenter and commentator was a highly respected multi-media journalist covering a wide range of sports throughout his decorated career.
An avid West Brom fan, Pearson will always be best known for his love and dedication to Speedway as a presenter, commentator and press officer.
Pearson also commentated on darts for over 15 years and worked for many organisations including Sky Sports, Talksport and a columnist at the Express & Star.
All of our thoughts and love go to his wife Kerrie, daughter Sarah and sons Liam and Jake. A full tribute to Nigel will follow.
