Beattie Book Competition Winner - Ipswich Town News
The competition to win a copy of The Greatest Footballer England Never Had: The Kevin Beattie Story has now closed.
Author Rob Finch reprinted a small number of copies of the book after receiving requests from Town fans after Blues legend Beattie died in September, aged 64.
The winner of the book, who told us in an email which was drawn at random that the former England international was born in Carlisle, was Kenny Musgrove.
Rob still has a handful of copies of The Greatest Footballer England Never Had: The Kevin Beattie Story which can ordered directly from him. If you mention TWTD when ordering he will throw in the postage for free. Email Rob via robfinch180@gmail.com and pay through Paypal. A donation from sales will be made to the British Heart Foundation.
