Re: ..

He basically performed the role Becks is supposed to perform now

Well not quite, I don't recall Gillette clamouring for PB to model their new razors although I believe he did get a few bob modelling for the front covers of "Goosebumps"!

Re: ..

I think Beardsley was seriously underrated.

Yes, but he was f ucking ugly though, you have to admit.

I reckon we've got a great chance in next WC if Sven takes a few more chances. We should have beaten Brazil in the last WC if Sven had told them to go for it 2nd half.

Watched Mexico beat Brazil last night - Brazil were very ordinary, and how anybody like Roque Junior can get 30 odd caps for Brazil is beyond me!

Exactly what's wrong with Becks - one of the weak links in the present team IMO.

What's that got to do with the price of fish? Are you gay?
I don't care if every player in the English team looks like Quasimodo if they can play.

Maybe, but he was a class player. Lineker grabbed the glory as the scorer, but a lot of his goals were thanks to the skill and vision of Beardsley.

Re: ??

Quite possibly the best goal ever scored IMHO.

What, even better than Archie Gemmel 1978, vs Holland?

Controversial.

Van Basteen 1998 European Championship final, vs Russia ...
