Too young to have seen him play, but the footage I've seen suggests to me he was very much a 'purple patch' player, who scored goals in clutches and was unstoppable when on form.
I can remembering him scoring a 25 yd screamer in front of us at Brentford, One of my better memories of being at Brentford......
Yes I've got that one on video. A Tuesday night game, he smashed it over the keeper from a long way out. We won the game 3-2, with Barry Hayles getting the others.
Thats the goal he scored which was a long kick like from the keeper I think which Beadle took it on his chest and span around and vollied it in from distance!! I was there too.
