28 Peter Beardsley


Beardsley was occasionally overlooked for both club and country but is undoubtedly one of the most talented withdrawn attackers this country has ever produced. He made a slow start before dazzling the Newcastle fans with his sublime dribbling, deft passing and never-say-die attitude before big money moves to Liverpool, Everton and Newcastle. One season for Newcastle, he provided more than 20 assists, scoring 20 himself.
For: Had flair and skill but worked as hard as anyone
Against: Lacked physical presence and occasionally viewed as a luxury player
