Peter Beardsley is a Newcastle United legend still worshipped by supporters in the city.
Even beyond his home town, the 56-year-old is considered one of the greatest players England has produced.
His image is that of a respected and popular former international who won 59 caps and played at two World Cups, won two league titles with Liverpool and transcended Merseyside rivalries when he joined Everton before returning to Newcastle for a second spell as one of Kevin Keegan’s Entertainers.
When his England career came to an end before Euro 96, a room of journalists gave him a standing ovation and he has remained feted in the press.
