Nigel Pearson is a former English defender who played for Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City. He was appointed manager of Bristol City in November 2009, after previously being their assistant manager.

In his first season in charge, Pearson led the club to promotion to League One, where they remained until relegation at the end of the 2013–14 season. 

After two seasons back in League Two, Pearson guided Bristol City back up to League One as champions in 2016–17; this marked his third successive promotion with a different club.

On 10 July 2018 he was sacked by Bristol City following a poor run of results which left them 19th out of 20 clubs in the Football League.

He has also managed Trinidad and Tobago national team, Huddersfield Town, Notts County, Leeds United U21s, Barnsley U23s, Leicester City's reserve side Exeter Chiefs' development squad and Crawley Town's academy staff as caretaker-manager during December 2017 while Eddie Howe took leave due to ill health.

It wasn't long before Graham made history when starting against Liverpool – becoming only second player ever behind Billy Bremner & Ian Rush from non-league Shewsbury town side Shrewsbury Town to play 100 league games for one club.

(After leaving Wednesday he would go on loan later that year join Notts County helping them gain promotion via playoff). 

On 12 May 1987 Nigel signed for reigning Division 2 Champions Sheffield Wednesday achieving many honours such as reaching European competition twice more losing finalists 1986/87 UEFA Champions Clubs Tournament then winners 1988/89 Intertoto Cup but never getting past.

First round proper until 1992 beating Feyenoord Rotterdam 3-1 aggie fans were ecstatic, gaining entry into prestigious Club World Championship held by Spanish giant Valencia CF.
