Wayne John Pearce OAM (born 29 March 1960 in Balmain, New South Wales) is an Australian former rugby league footballer and coach. An athletic lock forward for the Balmain Tigers, he was affectionately known as 'Junior'. Pearce represented New South Wales in the State of Origin Series as well as the Australian national rugby league team.
Pearce was captain of the Balmain Tigers rugby league club from 1982–1990. A local junior from the Balmain Police Boys club, he made his debut in 1980 and was quickly marked as a future star.
Pearce's son, Mitchell was a half-back for the Sydney Roosters.
Pearce's captaincy proved critical in elevating Balmain from also-rans to a force of the 1980s, in concert with Steve Roach, Benny Elias and later Paul Sironen. Along with fullback Garry Jack, they drove Balmain to the semi-finals in 1983 and every year from 1985 to Pearce's retirement. Pearce won the Rothman's Medal for the best-and-fairest player in 1985.
In 1986 Pearce captained the New South Wales Blues to their first ever State of Origin clean-sweep, but in the following two years there was to be a rapid decline, with Queensland easily winning every match in 1988. After this, Pearce stood down from representative rugby league, despite pressure for him to return after Queensland won even more easily in 1989. In 1988 he was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia "for service to rugby league". Pearce was also the inaugural winner of the Ken Stephens Medal for Community Service by a Rugby League player.

Still smiling from yesterday
I just woke up and the first thought on my brain
Is you and now I can't wait to see your lovely face
I would do whatever it takes to look into your eyes again
If only you knew
Days keep on turning into nights, wish I
Could go on and say it
Cause it's burning deep inside to know
I wanna be yours baby
See nothing could get better than if we were together
I just can't take this
I wanna be, wanna be yours
So close but so far away
I won't be satisfied till I have my cake
And eat it too with love
With you I'll share the taste
Not a single crumb I'll waste
It's getting harder to contain these feelings of you
I'm thinking, you sweep me off the ground into a whirl wind
When you come around me something in me changes
I can't explain it baby, you'll be famous
If only you knew
Days keep on turning into nights, wish I
Could go on and say it
Cause it's burning deep inside to know
I wanna be yours baby
See nothing could get better than if we were together
I just can't take this
I wanna be, wanna be yours
I'm falling so in love
Friendship is not enough
It's hard to bare
Cause when you care the way that I do
You gotta be the one who claims your name around
Talks about you all over town
If I could just be your girl
If only you knew
If only you knew (yeah)
If only you knew
Days keep on turning into nights, wish I
Could go on and say it
Cause it's burning deep inside to know
I wanna be yours baby
See nothing could get better than if we were together
I just can't take this
