Pearce dreams of Dunne clones

Stuart Pearce believes there is “no doubt” he made the right decision about appointing Richard Dunne Manchester City captain in the summer and only regrets not having more players like him at Eastlands.

Dunne will lead his side out at Preston this weekend in what is being touted as a potential FA Cup fifth-round banana skin but manager Pearce has no doubt the Republic of Ireland defender is the right man to wear the armband.
