Even in the last game he played (was it QPR?), there were some flashes of brilliance: well-timed last-ditch tackles (some of them across the other side of the field), and a gut-busting overlap run down the right wing which Hutchinson ignored. People were just over-critical of his solo runaround, at the end of which he was dispossessed. He is an essential part of the squad, and we should support him fully. |

My Villa supporting friend told me "He was excellent in 2018-19 in helping us get promoted. Most Villa fans were disappointed we didn’t sign him for the Premier League when we went up." |

Town v Southampton is the final game of the season. They should move it to Portman Road. |
| News Comment | Blues Legend Beattie Dies at 08:39:55
Those of us lucky enough to see him play through the glory years of the '70s know that Kevin was a giant amongst footballers. I believe that he was the best defender that Britain has ever produced, who could have walked into any team in the world. He was the spirit of Bobby Robson's team and is etched into our individual and collective memories. Who can forget those rangy runs out of defence, blond hair flowing like some demigod, glancing up for an incisive pass, but often just choosing to just keep going, slicing through the opposition like a knife through butter. The excitement in the crowd was palpable, We used to sing 'Kevin Beattie walks on water', and sometimes it seemed that way. He was powerful yet graceful, and in complete control. 64 is much too young to die. As someone of his generation, I hope that that the outpouring of affection and admiration seen on this message-board for this humble legend will be absorbed and passed onto future generations, because his contribution to the happiness of so many Town supporters deserves to live on. |

I'd love to see Roberto Martinez at Portman Road if Everton let him go. Intelligent, attack-minded, loyal, interested in development youth players. Granted he hasn't done so well at Everton, but the expectation there is Champions League football. I think he would thrive much better in an environment with a shoe-string budget and without prima donna players. |
