Peter Andrew BeardsleyMBE (born 18 January 1961)[2] is an English football coach and formerfootballer who played as aforward ormidfielder.
In 1987, he set a record transfer fee in the English game. He represented hiscountry 59 times between 1986 and 1996, once ascaptain, taking part in twoFIFA World Cups (1986 and1990) andUEFA Euro 1988. At club level, he played forNewcastle United,Liverpool andEverton resulting in over 200Premier League appearances. Over the course of his career, he also had spells withCarlisle United,Manchester United,Vancouver Whitecaps,Bolton Wanderers,Manchester City,Fulham,Hartlepool United and theMelbourne Knights.
Between 2001 and 2018, he worked in various coaching roles at Newcastle United, varying from the first team to the youth academy. In 2010, he was briefly appointed as the caretaker manager.
As a youth player, Beardsley played forWallsend Boys Club inNorth Tyneside before joiningNewcastle United. In 1977, Beardsley joined fellow former Wallsend Boys Club playerSteve Bruce for a trial withThird Division clubGillingham. Although Gillingham signed Bruce as an apprentice, they turned Beardsley away.[3] He also had unsuccessful trials withBurnley andCambridge United.[4]
Beardsley eventually began his professional career withCarlisle United in 1978. He managed 22 goals in 104 league games, helping them win promotion to the Second Division at the end of the1981–82 season.[2]
During 1981–83, he played three seasons in the North American Soccer League at Canadian clubVancouver Whitecaps then joinedManchester United, although his period at United was unsuccessful, making only one single appearance in a League Cup tie againstAFC Bournemouth,[5] and otherwise failing to break into the first team. Eventually in September 1983, he was signed back toNewcastle United.
On 23 September 1983, Beardsley signed forSecond DivisionNewcastle United for a fee of £150,000. He made his debut for theMagpies a day later in the 1–1 draw withBarnsley atOakwell. Beardsley was an instant hit with the Newcastle supporters, scoring and setting up spectacular goals. He went on to celebrate promotion with his teammates, who were captained byKevin Keegan in his final season as a player. They finished in the final promotion spot behind winnersChelsea and runners-upSheffield Wednesday. He scored 20 league goals that season and formed an exciting strike partnership with formerEngland striker Keegan, who had also won major honours withLiverpool. Beardsley scored his first goal for theMagpies on 19 October 1983 in their 2–0 victory overCardiff City atNinian Park. His first goals atSt James' Park came in Newcastle's next fixture, againstManchester City. United beat City 5–0 and Beardsley scored his first everhat-trick.
In his first season in theFirst Division, Beardsley scored 17 goals in 38 league games as Newcastle finished in 14th position. These included a hat-trick on New Year's Day in a 3–1 home win over local rivalsSunderland, who finished the season relegated.[6] During the following campaign, he played in all of Newcastle's 42 league matches, scoring 19 goals. In one fixture againstWest Ham United, Beardsley ended the game as a stand-in goalkeeper. The game ended in an 8–1 defeat for Newcastle, with Beardsley conceding the last three goals.[7]
After returning from the1986 FIFA World Cup, Beardsley helped a struggling Newcastle to avoid relegation in the 1986–87 season, eventually finishing 17th. He scored just five goals in 36 appearances that season, winning a further six caps for his country, before Liverpool managerKenny Dalglish made a national record £1.9 million offer to Newcastle for Beardsley's services. ManagerWillie McFaul accepted the offer and Beardsley was on his way toMerseyside after four seasons onTyneside which had brought a total of a 61 goals (all in the league), his transfer completed on 14 July 1987.
12 years later, Manchester United managerAlex Ferguson revealed in his autobiography that he had made a £2 million bid for Beardsley, but McFaul had rejected the offer and told him that he wouldn't sell the player even if Ferguson offered £3 million.[8]
Beardsley joined Liverpool at the same time asJohn Barnes, theWatford winger. They were added toJohn Aldridge, who had signed during the previous campaign, with the three playing againstArsenal on Beardsley's debut atHighbury on the opening day of the1987–88 season, 15 August 1987. Aldridge scored after just nine minutes, Liverpool went on to win 2–1, and this shaped the rest of the season for theReds. The new-look striker partnership of Beardsley and Aldridge took over from the long-standing partnership of Dalglish andIan Rush, which was arguably the most successful partnership in English football during the 1980s. Rush had departed toSerie A clubJuventus, while player-manager Dalglish had decided only to make occasional first-team appearances after the 1986-87 season, finally retiring as a player in August 1990.
Beardsley's first goal for his new club came on 29 August 1987 in the 4–1 victory overCoventry City atHighfield Road, with Beardsley scoring in the 83rd minute. He helped Liverpool to a record-equalling 29-match unbeaten start to the league as Liverpool convincingly strolled to the League title with just two defeats to their name. However, there was disappointment at the end whenWimbledon denied them the 'double' with a shock 1–0 win in the1988 FA Cup final, a game in which Beardsley found the net, only for it to be ruled out by the referee who awarded Liverpool a free-kick for an earlier foul instead of allowing play to continue. Wimbledon scored the only goal of the game from a looping header byLawrie Sanchez. Aldridge missed a penalty for Liverpool in the second half.[9] Beardsley scored 15 league goals in his first season for Liverpool, level with John Barnes as the club's second highest scorer, behind Aldridge.
Rush rejoined the club in the 1988 close season and Liverpool returned toWembley and won the FA Cup the following year, but lost their League championship with virtually the last kick of the last game of the season against Arsenal. Although Rush missed 14 games due to injury, when all three of Liverpool's strikers were fit, Dalglish played with a 4–3–3 formation that allowed Beardsley, Aldridge and Rush to play alongside each other when possible. Beardsley scored 11 league goals that season.
In April 1989, after theHillsborough disaster claimed the lives of 96 Liverpool fans, Beardsley was among many Liverpool stars left distraught by the tragedy, attending several funerals and visiting the injured in hospital. He was part of the team that won the FA Cup that season with a 3–2 win over neighboursEverton at Wembley Stadium, though the league title slipped away on the final day of the season when Liverpool conceded alast minute goal to championsArsenal at Anfield.
With the departure of Aldridge a few weeks into the1989–90 season, Dalglish reverted to a 4–4–2 formation with Beardsley and Rush as his main strikers, with Beardsley scoring 10 goals in 29 games. Liverpool won the championship again that season, but the arrival of Israeli international strikerRonny Rosenthal saw his first-team opportunities limited in the title run-in, in which Liverpool overcame a strong challenge byAston Villa to finish champions by a nine-point margin. DespiteUEFA lifting the ban on English clubs in European competitions for the 1990–91 season, Liverpool were unable to compete in theEuropean Cup as (being the team present at theHeysel disaster that had sparked the ban in 1985) they had to serve an extra year of the ban before being allowed to play in European competitions again.
Beardsley suffered another blow to his first team chances in January 1991 when Kenny Dalglish signedDavid Speedie. Dalglish stepped down the following month and was replaced a few weeks later by former Liverpool playerGraeme Souness, afterRonnie Moran spent two months in charge on an interim basis. Beardsley managed 27 games that campaign and scored 11 goals – three of them in a 4–0 league win over Manchester United on 16 September 1990, and a further two in theMerseyside derby against Everton a week later.
Beardsley's final league goal for theReds came on 17 November 1990, when he scored the only goal in a 1–0 win at Coventry City. By this relatively early stage of the season he had scored an impressive 11 times in the league, but a failure to add any more goals over the Christmas period may have played a part in Dalglish's decision to sign another striker in the new year. His final competitive goals for Liverpool came in a dramatic fifth round FA Cup first replay against Everton atGoodison Park on 20 February 1991, which ended in a 4–4 draw and was the club's last game before the sudden resignation of manager Dalglish, who by the end of the season had been succeeded byGraeme Souness.[10]
Liverpool were top of the league at this stage, but in the new year were overhauled by Arsenal and the title went toHighbury at the end of the season. And with the arrival ofDean Saunders for a national record fee of £2.9 million after the end of the season, Beardsley's days atAnfield were looking even more numbered, despite the sale of Speedie. During Beardsley's Anfield career he played in 175 matches and scored 59 goals, winning two league titles and an FA Cup, but it was his vision, guile and all action style of play that endeared him to the Anfield faithful, so much so he was voted in 19th position in the 2006 poll 100 Players Who Shook The Kop, conducted by the Liverpool Football Club web site; over 110,000 supporters worldwide voted for their 10 favourite players of all time.[11]
Liverpool's derby rivals, Everton succeeded in gaining 30-year-old Beardsley's signature when he joined them on 5 August 1991 for a fee of £1 million. He made his debut on 17 August in a 2–1 defeat toNottingham Forest at theCity Ground. Beardsley scored 25 goals in 81 appearances for the blue half ofMerseyside, though Everton did not achieve anything greater than a mid table finish in the league during his time there, and failed to make an impact in the cup competitions.
While at Everton he became – along withDavid Johnson – one of only two players to have scored for both sides in Merseyside derbies. He finished as the club's top scorer by the end of his first season at Goodison Park and again showed his dynamic quality during his second season, but off the field Everton were suffering financial difficulties and when former clubNewcastle United offered Everton £1.5 million for Beardsley, it was a sum they could not turn down for a 32-year-old player. In all competitions, Beardsley scored 32 goals in 95 appearances for Everton.
On 16 July 1993, Beardsley rejoinedNewcastle United for £1.5 million, where his old teammate and strike partnerKevin Keegan was now manager. Newcastle had just won promotion to thePremier League as First Division champions, and in1993–94 they finished third and qualified for theUEFA Cup, with Beardsley scoring a total of 25 goals and his strike-partnerAndy Cole scoring a club record of 41 goals in all competitions. He played for a further four years at the club, almost captaining them to the Premier League title in 1996, but they were pipped to the title by Manchester United. They finished runners-up a year later as well, although 1996–97 was a trying season for the club as they failed to set the pace at the top of the table as they had the previous season, and halfway through the season Keegan had stunned the club with his resignation, withKenny Dalglish then succeeding him.
During his second spell atSt James' Park, he racked up 157 appearances and scored 56 goals, bringing his overall total after two spells with the club to 321 appearances and 117 goals. This equates to a goal every 2.74 matches, a decent ratio for a player who was seen by many as a provider rather than a goalscorer, particularly in the1996–97 season when he was switched to midfield followingAlan Shearer's arrival. It is this period of his career that Beardsley regards as the time when he peaked.[12]
Beardsley left Newcastle for the second time on 18 August 1997 for £450,000, joiningBolton Wanderers, where he made 21 appearances but was unable to save them from being relegated from the Premier League just one season after promotion. He then went on loan toManchester City, where he played six times in the First Division.[2] This loan spell made Beardsley the only player to play for both top-flight teams in Liverpool and Manchester.[13][14]
He then moved toFulham who were managed by his former manager Keegan, where he made 28 appearances in two separate loan spells, eventually signing for them permanently. He then went toHartlepool United on a free transfer, and played 22 times in the Third Division to secure theirFootball League status.[2] He finally ended his career at the age of 38 when he played twice for theNational Soccer League clubMelbourne Knights.
In a professional career totalling some 20 years in English football, he managed 659 league games and 210 goals, and a total of 799 games and 238 goals in all competitions. He had collected three major trophies (all of them with Liverpool) and was capped 59 times by England, scoring nine times. He had also played in two promotion winning teams earlier in his career, although he had been sold by Carlisle just before they sealed promotion in 1982.[15]
During the 2012–13 season, Beardsley played in a friendly forCambridge United against theNewcastle United reserve squad to celebrate Cambridge's 100th anniversary since they were founded.[16]
After reaching the First Division with Newcastle, Beardsley became a regular in theEngland side in the second half of the 1980s, and teamed up withstrikerGary Lineker, who described Beardsley as "the best partner I could ever have".
On 29 January 1986, Beardsley made his debut for his country, coming on as a substitute for Lineker in the 4–0 friendly victory overEgypt inCairo.[17] His first goal came in his fourth appearance, on 17 May 1986 in the 3–0 friendly win overMexico inLos Angeles, as England prepared for the forthcomingWorld Cup inMexico. England scored seven goals in the tournament, of which Lineker scored six (winning theGolden Boot for doing so); the other goal came from Beardsley in a 3–0 victory overParaguay in the second round. England had failed to score a goal in the first two matches of the finals, but in the third match – Beardsley's first start in the tournament – they beatPoland 3–0. Beardsley contributed in that match with a spectacular cross toSteve Hodge, which allowed Hodge to make England's second goal for Lineker. The next match was to be the famousArgentina vs. England match, in whichDiego Maradona scored twice for the 2–1 victory that saw England eliminated from the tournament. Beardsley played the full game and was one of the five players passed by Maradona for the "Goal of the Century".
He maintained his place in the England team and featured in bothEuro 88 and the1990 World Cup. He was named as England captain on 17 February 1988 when they drew 0–0 in a friendly withIsrael.
Beardsley was dropped by England managerGraham Taylor after the end of 1990, around the same time he lost his regular place in theLiverpool line-up, and, controversially, continued to be overlooked by him despite England's disappointing performance atEuro 92 as well as their unsuccessful attempt to qualify forthe 1994 World Cup. Beardsley, meanwhile, was performing very well for his new clubEverton, having signed for them in August 1991, although Everton's form as a team was far from impressive.[18]
During his second spell at Newcastle, Beardsley was recalled to the England team by new managerTerry Venables in early 1994 after an absence of three years, and ultimately ended his international career while still at Newcastle in 1996, when he was one of the three players dropped from the provisional squad of 25 for the final squad of 22 forEuro 96, along withDennis Wise andJason Wilcox, after gaining 59caps and scoring nine goals.[2]
Beardsley once scored four goals forEngland againstAylesbury United. These did not count towards his international tally, however, as this was not an official international match. Aylesbury became the only non-League side to face the full England team, as they hosted the national side in a warm-up match in 1988 in preparation for the European Championships. England won the game 7–0.[19]
A small and skilfulsecond striker, Beardsley was recognised more for close control, deceptive movement and combination play than for prolific goalscoring. Often used as a classicnumber 10, he connected midfield and attack with intelligent movement and passing, providing an extra presence between the lines. Beardsley has been described by theNational Football Museum website as "a unique talent in English football."[20] AtLiverpool he frequently dropped deeper to supply chances for teammates such asJohn Aldridge andJohn Barnes, acting as the "creative force" in a fluid front line that won two First Division titles and an FA Cup.[20] ForEngland he served as an unselfish foil toGary Lineker—Lineker later recalled that the pair "knew each other's games perfectly."[20] He also noted that Beardsley was effectively England's first recognised number 10 at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, when managerBobby Robson adopted the system to strengthen the midfield.[21] Managers credited his role with making England's football "more fluid and attractive".[20] Contemporary reports praised his work-rate off the ball, pressing and recovering possession, along with his vision to play incisive final passes. This balance of industry and imagination made him a supporter favourite across several clubs.[20]
Beardsley joined the coaching staff atNewcastle United after his playing career was over. In early 1999, Beardsley also served as assistant manager toHoward Wilkinson during his first caretaker period as manager ofEngland, between the dismissal ofGlenn Hoddle and the appointment ofKevin Keegan. England faced – and lost to – world championsFrance in a friendly atWembley.[22] In 2003, Beardsley was the subject of a Premier League inquiry, after it was claimed that he had bullied two Newcastle youth players. He was cleared of the charges.[23] Bullying allegations were again raised against Beardsley in January 2018.[24]
Beardsley left Newcastle in 2006, whenGlenn Roeder took over as permanent manager of the club. He believed Newcastle should go in a different direction. Beardsley then worked in a media role at the club. In 2007,Howard Kendall, his former boss atEverton stated he was interested in taking over as manager ofRepublic of Ireland national team, with Beardsley as his assistant manager. Beardsley was also linked with a return to Newcastle in January 2008, when Keegan returned as manager for a second spell.
In March 2009, Beardsley was re-appointed as anacademy coach at Newcastle, working primarily with young strikers.[25] On 27 July 2010, he was appointed as reserve team manager, withSteve Stone as his assistant manager.[26] On 6 December, following the dismissal ofChris Hughton, Beardsley was briefly placed in charge of the team on a temporary basis beforeAlan Pardew was brought in as Hughton's replacement.[27]
In January 2018, Beardsley was placed on leave by Newcastle following allegations ofracism.[28] In March 2019, Newcastle confirmed that he had left the club,[29] and the Football Association later confirmed they were investigating him.[30] He was subsequently charged with three counts of using racist language to players.[31] In September 2019, he was suspended from all football-related activity for 32 weeks after being found guilty by the FA of making racist comments to players.[32] Beardsley said he was "surprised and disappointed" at being found guilty. The FA panel said: "Even if he did not intend to do so, he plainly did cause offence." However, the panel said it did not believe Beardsley was racist, stating: "We are satisfied that Mr Beardsley is not a racist in the sense of being ill-disposed to persons on grounds of their race or ethnicity."[33]
Born inHexham, Beardsley grew up inForest Hall, Newcastle upon Tyne.
Beardsley has been married since 1981 to his wife Sandra.[34] They have a son, Drew (born 1989), and a daughter, Stacey (born 1993).[35]
