Ignore the team, just enjoy the goals

It's alright, he ended up seeing the light eventually anyway

Lot of love for Beardsley actually

I don't begrudge him for wanting to play for his boyhood team instead of us

One of HKs best buys, gutted when we sold him

Beardo was a kin briliant player,shame we were crap when he played for us.

£1.5 million we sold him for. Terrible business! He was outstanding for the barcodes over at least 2 seasons.

It was an emergency sale at the time

He was definately worth more than that but we were desperate

Yeah. Dark days.

Kevin Keegan once said to Cole: “I’m going to sign a player just for you.”

He was talking about Peter Beardsley, who United managed to steal from Everton for £1.5m as the Magpies made a return to the Premier League.

Beardsley was also once described by England legend Gary Lineker as his best strike partner.........

Cole said: “I got the opportunity to play at Newcastle.

“Then I got the opportunity to play with Peter and it was fantastic.

“It put me on the map."

He was great for us - prob one of the most talented players I've seen in blue tbh. Sold for 1.5 million. Jesus Christ.
