Can you imagine a premier league player doing this today? There are no characters like this any more. Beardsley wasn't a washed up player when he did this - he was one of the best players in the league, playing for Kevin Keegan's Newcastle
As a glazing contractor...I was part of a team replacing the glass in the observation towers at the missile test ranges in the outer Hebrides...There was some female members of the armed forces stationed there...When we went for a drink in the NAAFI bar, the female service personnel were also in there enjoying a drink...the best looking of them looked the spitting image of Peter...and guess what...she was a Geordie...
I think this is my favourite phoenix, the gags combined with Beardsley's poor delivery just make it comedy gold. P.S I love Peter Beardsley a great player.
Bloody love the man even though he has trouble with the foreign lads, a class act, one of the last old school players, he's got a style of football, demeanor and life that can't be replicated so easily these days
I was at that game and used to watch fantasy football every week. But must've missed this episode somehow. Only just seen it for the first time now in 2020.
Paul & Co took to this horrendous act of cruelty against a beautiful ballad with the same talentless intensity as kids performing in the school talent show. Fucking hell! 😂😂😂
The good old days under mark Bolton. I remember that music, this season really got me into la Liga, Sevilla were really good that season and probably should have won it!
