Born on 22nd of October 1982, the legend that is John David Pearce took seed in a quiet part of North East Essex (Colchester) in England.

After a respectable upbringing, the boywonder moved on to a school in Ipswich where he furthered his education - both in academic and in sporting terms. A thriving sporting career was seen by many as he achieved fast times in the 100m sprint as well as great distances achieved in the triple jump. Rugby was also a major part of the youngsters life as he was selected time and again for the school team. This was constantly happening as he was playing youth football for the local football (soccer to non-European's) club - Foxash Youth. After many years of distinguished service playing in the Strikers role (averaging approximately 30 goals a season), he was converted into a sweeper to negate the impact of like-minded strikers. This was done simultaneously with a sterling education.

A move to the local Sixth Form College ensued, where the boywonders passions were encouraged. Unfortunately, he was unable to replicate his earlier success and struggled to make an impavt on the bigger stage. This did not phase him as he still managed to attain the grade to get into the fine University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne!

After a long hard struggle, John managed to come out with a Third Class degree. Disappointing I know, but a degree nonetheless.
