Watford's Manager Is The Biggest Bad Ass In The World - Once Fought Off A Pack Of Wolves While Camping By Gouging Their Eyes And Breaking Their Jaw

[Source] - “I saw this story - and it came from Stuart Pearce, who had Nigel Pearson as his assistant whilst they were at England Under-21s.

“And this is an amazing story - every summer he (Pearson) used to go away on his own on a walking holiday. "One year he went to Transylvania and was warned if he goes walking in the mountains that there are wolves and bears.

“And apparently - and I can imagine Pearson going through this - he got surrounded by a pack of wolves.

"He backed himself up to a hedge to stop them getting behind him and then he gouged one of their eye's out, broke another wolf’s jaw and then managed to escape.”

I can't help it. I'm addicted to European/South American soccer stories. Why? Because shit like this and it's just glossed over. Watford's manager out here fighting off an entire pack of wolves by gouging them in the eye and breaking their jaw like he's Ric Flair. Does it sound like a madeup story? Perhaps, but I believe it. No doubt in my mind that an EPL soccer manager fought off an entire pack of wolves.

Oh and to be a true #FutbolGuy or I guess #FootballGuy in England, he's using this as a scare tactic to help Watford go on a winning streak. 

Chris Stark said he reckoned that Pearson had told the Watford players the story - leaving them terrified of him - helping them go undefeated since December 14.

He said: “What he’s done is walk into the Watford dressing room, recounted that story and ever since then they’ve won everything.”

Tell me that's not a move that Harbaugh or Saban or Coach O would use? 100%. This guy fits in perfectly with #FootballGuy culture. So how did he do it? Apparently he backed himself up to a tree so they couldn't surround him from behind before ripping at their throats. What would I do in this scenario? Cry. Die. Probably both. I mean the rule has always been pretend to be dead or hide, no? At least that's what I thought it was - I don't go outside to where these sort of things can happen that much. I'm a recliner, pool and firepit kinda guy. 

Now if he can find a way to keep Mia Khalifa from surrounding the team, he may be on to something.
