Top bloke. Although he's never been the same since his wife rejected Jesus...

Bloody love the man even though he has trouble with the foreign lads, a class act, one of the last old school players, he's got a style of football, demeanor and life that can't be replicated so easily these days

[@EzPz8]

I love the way Peter keeps singing after the goal footage has finished. Brilliant stuff - full credit to Peter for playing along - a legend and a nice guy!

[@nixonradio]

the bit where it cuts back from the montage and he's still singing - it's been like 30 years and I still lose it every single time

[@itsallreal]

'We lost every game.' LOL, Ol' Beardo is a legend.

[@Two_Seat_Pete_FatA55]

lovely lumpy lumpy chicken

[@thewomble1509]

Say what you want about Beardsley, he's not above taking the piss out of himself.

[@garethdavies6723]

That's got to be the funniest Pheonix from the flames ever.🤣🤣 bring back fantasy football league. Loved it

[@kingsarwar0614]

Yeah, it's either this or the Paul Parker one for me

[@davidforster1628]

When i was a kid my football team were doing a fundraiser at the train station and the whole nufc squad walked past us on there way to the platform. They all pretended we weren't there apart from peter who put in a fiver. He said something funny as well but unfortunately i cant remember. Always my favourite toon player. Cheers peter

[@efil4zaggin666]

You're a good lad Peter

[@efil4zaggin666]

@flint the kaka harris Peter Beardsley's wife, a la Athletico Mince segment featuring PB

[@maipantoon7823]

Can you imagine a premier league player doing this today? There are no characters like this any more. Beardsley wasn't a washed up player when he did this - he was one of the best players in the league, playing for Kevin Keegan's Newcastle

[@jaybe2908]

I think this is my favourite phoenix, the gags combined with Beardsley's poor delivery just make it comedy gold. P.S I love Peter Beardsley a great player.

[@mrugod]

1:36 flew over that thick audiences heads.

[@pureblood1980x]

what a great bloke! toon legend and one of my favourite players growing up.

[@billybob7486]

I wasn't really into football until I watched Beardsley play. he moved to LFC and that was my team. to watch him and Barnes together is basically like having messi and ronaldo in the same team. absolute joy to watch.

[@leeball4585]

I love the way he tries to sing the next verse of All By Myself...

[@gavst79]

I was at that game and used to watch fantasy football every week. But must've missed this episode somehow. Only just seen it for the first time now in 2020.

[@brianallison9560]

Absolutely brilliant. Well done guys, this has got to put a smile on everyone's face.

[@saddq1]

Beardsley: the greatest player ever with a face that only a mother could love

[@hrcandyb]

great skit, Beardsley was a great player.

[@jasonjeavons1754]

Athlectico mince brought me here and I can't belive Bob mortimor is so spot on with his impression

[@turn567]

Love these guys! And Beardsley is a good sport!

[@aldhous]

Absolute classic. How I miss Baddiel and Skinner. Legends.

[@56drummer]

what a great player beardsley was - enjoyed this.

[@chewie2240]

because they were laughing so hard at the scotland bit they missed frank skinner saying "a blind ladies team? how did you get on with them?" so beardsley saying "i pulled" made no sense to them.

[@staggabob]

chewie2240 I realise i'm replying to an 11 year old comment but for the benefit of anyone reading this in 2018 this segment was clearly scripted- hence Peter's terrible delivery!

[@ozza33]

DB: Who else did you play in these confidence boosting games? PB: Hendon, Hartlepool under 5s, a blind ladies team and Scotland. FS: A blind ladies team how did you get on with them? PB: I pulled. Lol classic.

[@seehispugnosedface]

Give him an Oscar for this performance

[@daveceaser13]

I PULLED! haha classic! respect

[@vishy]

He's an awesome dude, and what a player!! Puts today's superstars to shame. He had skill and humility. Definitely a good sport in this vid :)

[@colohutton]

[@GeordieBoy1955]

Brilliant !

[@JM4EDR]

I've always had a massive crush on Beardsley. I don't care what anyone thinks, he's gorgeous. He's so skilled and very shy, makes me love 'im even more. Stop laughing you nasty audience, he had all his teeth removed because of an infection or something, at least he made something of himself. Beardsley FOREVER.

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Hahahaha you can see he is a Bi-Satchel.

As a glazing contractor...I was part of a team replacing the glass in the observation towers at the missile test ranges in the outer Hebrides...There was some female members of the armed forces stationed there...When we went for a drink in the NAAFI bar, the female service personnel were also in there enjoying a drink...the best looking of them looked the spitting image of Peter...and guess what...she was a Geordie...

[@Stevo_YouTube]

that was amazin!

[@johnmelling9950]

Cracking player in his prime. Seems like a great laugh as well.

remember seeing him at pompey when he played for bolton he was the best player on the pitch

[@welshmatt2764]

I did the 'i pulled' line not get a laugh from the audience!?

[@barrybas]

"It's not very often you have the mayoress in one hand and your nob in the other". And the crafty joke about the sweaties was hilariously below the belt too. And who would begrudge Quasimodo an open bus parade for sticking four past the Toilet Ducks?
