Peter Beardsley

he? I don't know that Roy could have done it without Blackie Gray.

I think Blackie Gray was the Peter Beardsley to Roy Race's Gary Lineker.

What about Ben Galloway then? Ben put these people together.

until Roy got shot and his wife left him and all the rest of it.

Having that is so important.

Then they add in... guile from your neck of the woods in Peter Beardsley this just this perfect follow he would be here he would be for Gary Lineker obviously in fact he already was for Gary Lineker in an England shirt just that awareness of of where to be where to play that supplements that complements the forward and you're not relying therefore on you know john aldridge's or ian rush's or gary lineker's legs working and you've got something else

peter bursley is was sorry a superb uh footballer he was so classy and elegant um he doesn't look athletic he doesn't look like it he he's a top level world-class footballer but he really really was he had that subtlety he had the vision that few have um you know let's go back to international things because it gives me a nice quote that fits perfectly and it's platon he talked about himself of saying well in france there were hundreds of people who could uh who could run as much as him who could do various bits of technique as much as him But he had the vision.

And I think as much as Beardsley and Platini had excellent technique, it's that vision, the ability to be the perfect foil to a great striker.

I guess it's a Newcastle product rather.

Newcastle legend.

You can't really say that because he's not in anything like the same category as Peter Beardsley.

Because Peter Beardsley, then he went off for his peak career elsewhere, but he came back and he was, again, on another level.

Absolutely fantastic player.

got let go far too soon should have been offered a lot more money when we're going to be talking about contracts now in a few minutes I think that was badly handled that was badly badly handled that was a terrible that was one of the biggest mistakes it's like Graeme Souness's Peter Beardsley mistake Yes.

That was the one, letting Lucho go was bad.

Absolutely.

There was six of them that turned up to do it and they made all six of them do the rap.

So I heard Gazza doing the rap today on the show and Peter Beardsley.

And that is worth watching it alone for the Peter Beardsley one.

Yeah.

He actually plays it out live.

We'll do something that if you win it, you can carry it to the match.

We might stick in two tickets for Peter Beardsley, actually, which will make it a bit easier.

So you don't need to carry anything away with you.

But get yourself down.
