“I go from sadness to anger when reading the Beattie obituaries: living post-career in circumstances which were modest at best, and suffering from what today would be medical/professional negligence while he was playing. He was also very unlucky with his timing, a few years later England could have done with him at World Cups 82-90, as opposed to the ones they missed in the '70s when he was at his peak. In another universe, he tackles Maradona and Fenwick is watching on TV.
An all-time great, no exaggeration.” |  |
