England football legend Stuart Pearce's son, Harley, killed in horror tractor crash

Harley Pearce, son of ex-England footballer Staurt Pearce, has died in a tractor crash on the spot at Witcombe, Gloucestershire.

Harley Pearce, 21, from Marlborough in Wiltshire, died in the tractor crash in Gloucestershire last Thursday, October 16, 2025, police have said.

Harley’s family issued a heartfelt tribute to him: “Our family is truly shocked and utterly heartbroken at the loss of our cherished son and devoted brother, Harley. Rest in Peace, our beautiful son and brother. You will never ever be forgotten.”

Harley was the younger of two children from Stuart’s 20-year marriage to his ex-wife, Liz, which ended in 2013.

They also have an older daughter, Chelsea, a talented equestrian who has represented Great Britain at three European Championships.

The beloved young boy Harley Pearce was in a relationship with Holly Watts.

In 1999, Stuart received an MBE from the late Queen for his contributions to sports and charity, and in recent years, he worked as a pundit and co-commentator for talkSPORT.

Police are seeking witnesses or dashcam footage of the incident.

A source told the Daily Mail that Harley’s tractor suffered a tire blowout, causing him to lose control.

Harley operated his own business, Harley Pearce Agricultural Service, serving farms along the Wiltshire-Gloucestershire border and lived near Marlborough, Wiltshire.
