Peter Beardsley

[Dicko 726]

It's always good to randomly start threads about ex players.

Especially as in this case a player who's often forgotten but who was blindingly fucking brilliant.

 

Peter Beardsley.

P.S. You had to be in the Kop when he belted that goal in against Everton, apart from Rushy's "last" against Watford it was the maddest celebration ever. Just for that he's a fucking legend.

[Boom Boom 9]

Great clips. What's most apparent from watching those goals is the man's close control and composure in tight situations.

I loved Beardsley, he was a top bloke as well as a fantastic footballer.

 

Always made me laugh how Ferguson was considered some kind of visionary for having Cantona in that role between midfield and attack, when in actual fact he'd modelled his side on Dalglish's Liverpool team with Beardsley in that position.

 

Beardsley Barnes and Aldo, later Rush, were just supreme.

He was in one of my local pubs, here in Estonia, a while back. My Geordie mate met him and had a chat. Apparently a very nice, quiet guy. I was away on holiday, alas...

He was in Illegaard? That's crazy. Whodathunkit?

No, Pussirohukelder - the gunpowder cellar place with the high ceiling. I was miffed to miss out on a meeting with one of my childhood heroes, needless to say...

I loved Beardsley.

 

But I do think Barnes was the star of that team.

Oh right! Annu took me there after the Atleti match, I think.

[redfromtubebar 40]

What a player.

 

What on earth was Souness thinking when he sold Beardsley? I know he had problems with some of the senior players at the club but surely Beardsley wasn't one to rock the boat?

He's a right twat, he used to turn up for a kick around in the school playing field when he was at Newcastle and play the same way, no one could get near him.

[Walton Park 1]

Obviously

[shouter 54]

The man was a fuckin genius. One of the best players to wear a red shirt. Souness should be strung up for that fuck up alone. It broke my heart seeing him in a blue shirt and sitting in the upper park end watch him pick the ball up and slot a shot under mike hoopers hand to win them the derby.

[Captain 686]

Excellent player, and beautifully two-footed to boot. His sale is in the top three of Souness' fuck-up list.

Apols in advance for the bump and this nothing to do with Peter Beardsley, but...

 

I'm looking to make contact with Josef Svejk and Unrighteous in this thread who were mentioning bars visited by Reds in Tartu, Estonia.

 

I work there one week a month and I've been watching games on my own in Ristiisa for the last year or so. I now find you're mostly hiding in Illegaard practically underneath the apartment I stay in. I saw the ManU game with some Reds yesterday, hope to meet up with you guys in the future (Unrighteous, are you also connected to Taiwan, I was in Kaoshiung for the last 6 weeks and watched LFC on my own there too! Hope to meet more next time I'm there).

 

BTW - I run the Madrid Reds, so if anyone reading this is heading our way, please get in touch.

[The Guest 1,916]

How good is Barnes's backheel in that clip above? Shame we can't just clone him. I love watching old clips of that side.

[neilt 0]

Contact made, now that PM's are activated for me.

 

Enjoy the old clip!

[therevivalist 78]

Peter was probably technically the most accomplished of the lot of the golden era. I can't still fathom for the life of me why Souness sold him.

Second time this has happened with him over bullying. Last time I'm sure it had something to do with Terry Mac's lad.

 

Not a particularly nice gentleman by all accounts.

 

Imagine being the stupid cunt who started this thread.

[Elite 12,099]

Probably better because he's never met anyone uglier than himself.

[Elite 12,099]

Probably bitter because he's never met anyone uglier than himself.

[Harry Squatter 13,901]

Always thought he was a genuine harmless fella. From the allegations it sounds like he is Ralph Feinnes character in Shchindlers List.

[suzy 3,357]

This is quite shocking, he definitely doesn’t sound like a nice bloke. Several different accounts about him too.

[Lee909 13,019]

How disappointing

Always seemed avreally decent bloke,down to earth etc anytime id heard him.
