The Legend of England Stuart Pearce broke his silence after suffering a medical emergency on a Las Vegas flight last week.
The 62 -year -old was sick on the flight back to London on March 2 after participating in a Rugby League match in Las Vegas between Wigan Warriors and Warrington Wolves.
The Virgin aircraft made an emergency landing in Newfoundland on Monday after Pearce fell on board.
Since then, Pearce had been recovering at the hospital in Canada, with Mail Sport reporting on Saturday that former Nottingham Forest captain was receiving calls from supporters as he progressed in his recovery.
On Monday, it was revealed that Pearce had left the hospital and, on Tuesday morning, the station shared a live update at Talksport.
‘Absolutely brilliant. I went to find my creator last week and it was not God, in fact, Lord Jordan sat in his seat that I went to know, but he said his time is not in the great companion and sent me away.

On Saturday, fans of Nottingham Forest and Man City sent their best to the recovery expert – who appeared as a player on both sides
– But in all seriousness, I’m in good shape. On the flight, I had chest pains and things like that, the Virgin crew was brilliant, took care of me fantastically and just said, ‘Look we won’t enjoy the chance of flying over the Atlantic, let’s leave you.’
Five days in the hospital, a few days out of the hospital, stayed here, the only negative side is that our bags went to London and the only thing left to us was the autobiography of Martin Keown!
“I can’t talk enough, I had some brilliant messages from people, I was lucky enough to watch some games. I thought the forest game against Man City was very humiliating. I saw this and all the pieces and pieces that came out of it.
Forest fans and Man City fans sent successful pieces in the form of one minute applause at the beginning of their weekend, with supporters singing ‘Psycho, Psycho’ – the iconic nickname of Pearce – in the third minute.
When asked what he continued accurately when he realized that there may be a health problem, he added: ‘My heart rate was running. My resting heart rate from the moment I was monitored on the plane until a few days in the hospital, my resting heart rate was above 155 bpm. It was really ridiculous.
“My heart was not pumping enough blood around the system either, and there was some swelling. They gave me medications to reduce this.
‘At the end of the week also on Friday, they said we will stick a tube in their throat, and if there is no swelling in their hearts, we will stop your heart and restart again, and that’s exactly what they did.
On Friday, my heart returned to a normal rate and they freed me the next day.

‘What they think I just had a virus, like head viruses or something, I have a virus that holds to my heart that only needed cleaning, restarting and going through the process.
‘When I get home, I’m going to do some medical checks and go see the general practitioner and one or two other things, but I feel bright on myself and I did it from the mid -week to be honest with you.
“I’m in good hands, people in the hospital have been magnificent.”
Pearce was asked if there were a medically trained passenger on board he helped, which he ruled out before explaining how he received oxygen and called a cardiogram, with results linked to a doctor on the floor.
He added that he requires a ‘medical escort’ to travel with him when he returns to the United Kingdom.
Previously, commentator Sam Matterface revealed that he had spoken with Pearce before the beginning of the beginning between Forest and Manchester City, and that he had shared how “disappointed” he should have lost the game between his two former clubs.
He is of great spirit. It is not 100 %, this is definitely the case, but he is in the right place, he is in the hospital. They are dealing with it, ” said Matterface.
‘He is a little disappointed that he is not (at the city). He was very frustrated by that.

“He really said to me,” I have a lot to have to cancel. Some great games and mumford and sounds are playing on Wednesday night and I can’t go now. “
Meanwhile, speaking full time after his 1-0 win, the head of Forest Nuno Espirito Santo paid tribute to Pearce and transmitted his best votes.
“Stuart is not just a legend of our club, he is part of our family,” he said. “We all send him our best votes and hope he will have a complete and quick recovery.”
Pearce, who was limited by England 78 times between 1987 and 1999 and played in several clubs, including Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle, was connected to a crew monitor after suffering acute discomfort.
