The Beat Says Sorry - Ipswich Town News
Town legend Kevin Beattie is on Mark Murphy’s Radio Suffolk show on Friday morning talking about his benefit fraud conviction (9am).
An apologetic Beat will speak about what it's like to be tagged and on curfew and describes his fall from grace in his own words.
The ex-England international says he wasn't aware he should have been declaring his Radio Suffolk income: "I'm a thick footballer and my brains are in my feet. I never meant to let people down.
"After time things catch up and rightly so. It was a silly mistake on my behalf. I didn't realise I had to declare what I was earning."
Beattie, who will be under curfew between 8pm and 7am added: "After 58 years the penny has dropped, it definitely won't happen again."
The Carlisle-born former defender will continue to work with Radio Suffolk.
Radio Suffolk can be heard on 95.5FM, 95.9FM, 103.9FM and 104.6FM or online here.
