What a player he was, and what stories Peter Beardsley has to tell us.
We spent two hours in his company in Newcastle, where he works as reserve team coach. He played for that club in two spells, once alongside Kevin Keegan and once under his charge. Two great teams, and Newcastle fans will love these stories. But there’s something here for fans of almost all the clubs he played for – and any lover of football who recalls, or has since seen, Peter at his defence-breaking best.
How a game against George Best led to that one-game Manchester United career; why Tino Asprilla was most certainly not the reason Newcastle blew the title in 1996; how he ended up cooking for Keegan in a flat above Harrod’s…. there’s much, much more in this extra-long interview.
I loved hearing Peter’s stories – let me know what you think.
And if you liked some of our listener’s questions and you’re not on the mailing list yet … what are you waiting for?
