I don't think the club would have went the way it did in the 90's if it wasn't for his influence on the team. Although Cole, and then Ginola were my favourite players around that time, Beardsley was always right up there. Oh, and he took the time to sign my toon top in Argos at the Metro Centre back in the mid-90s, when I had the nerve to pester him.
About a year ago (maybe two?) I was stood behind him in the queue at the Food Hall of Marks and Spencers in Newcastle. I also had to nerve to pester him and he was good enough to oblige.
