So lucky to have seen him play, with modern fitness and training wouldn’t it be something to have a young Beat in the team today! |  |

We are getting to that point Keno, where many a fan will never know just how good those players and those teams were under Robson.
They now hold almost mythical status. |  |

I know Homey its sad, and little scary.
I'm not sure younger fans can really appreciate just how good those 70''s and early 80's teams were. I have the privilege of standing on the North Stand (I miss that old terrace) and watching the team develop. | |

I only saw him play once. And that was in a testimonial match after he had retired. May have been for Ron Gray but I can't be certain.
Even I feel robbed of seeing the great man properly. When you consider his age when he packed in, he could have still been turning out as we ticked over into the 90s. |  |

I feel sorry fir our younger Town fans thst they never saw this collossus of a player in a Town shirt. He was absolutely awesome and truly magnificent in full stride!
He rarely fouled a player when steaming in to take the ball off them. I was at the Everton FACup game ...he jumped for the ball at a corner and was ABOVE the cross bar. If you think Delap has a powerful shot on him ( he does), The Beat was more powerful. It was a magnificent sight to see him run the length of the pitch with the ball with opposition players literally bouncing off him, only for him to thunder in a goal from 20 yards. You young uns have realy missed a proper legend. |  |

Who was it who wrote ‘ I still dream of Kevin Beattie chasing down Maradonna, while Terry Fenwick is driving a bus’. He’d have been 31 in 86’. |  | | |
