Eric Pearce (athlete)

Eric Pearce, who lived from 1936 to 1997, was an English Paralympic athlete who represented Great Britain at the 1984 Summer Paralympics. He was born in Nottingham and after leaving school went to work at Gedling Colliery before joining the RAF, where he spent 12 years stationed in Cyprus, Singapore, Darlington and the Isle of Man. After leaving the RAF he returned to work at Gedling, and he was eventually offered a place on the team to represent Great Britain at the 1984 Games in New York City. His article states no medal count, so his medals band is left open until a source that states it is found.
