Nah, think opening weekend of that season was the Beckham halfway line goal against Wimbledon.

Weird, just spent half an hour going through the videos from the old Le Tournoi thread. As such I heartily endorse this thread.

The thought of returning to Middlesbrough rendered his wife bed ridden with depression

this goal celebration

not a bad episode

The top 2 in particular… legend.

Did anyone else used to get those VHS magazine things for their clubs or was it just a £$£$£$£ Utd thing?

proper goal. proper kit. proper celebration.

I was in the crowd for a couple of these. Legend is an overused word but entirely appropriate in this case.

I seem to remember peter beardsley having about 4 goals in goal of the month once. This is my only ever post in a football thread I think.

I often wonder what Beardsley would be worth in today’s market. I’m gonna say £60 million

lovely player

Was at the game for the one v Blackburn. One of the best goals I had the pleasure of seeing live. Got a standing ovation from many of the home fans. If I remember rightly, he told Tim Flowers before the game that he was going to hit the towel in the goal and that’s what he was pointing at.
