I assumed he must have, as someone said that his wife won't let him see his kid. Surely Beardsley's bairns are all adults now?
Besides, I thought he was supposed to be boffing Cathy Secker, back in the day. ::
I've met Peter a couple of times and he seemed like a decent fella - always had a couple of minutes for a natter about football. That said, there's no smoke without fire but I've not heard the stories about him being 'weird'. Heard his first wife is a ball-breaker though!
The whole academy set up needs rebooting, which will hopefully happen when the takeover goes through.
If the first bit is true, that's awful but then again, that's West Ham for you. I remember them giving Glenn Roeder stick, after he won his fight against cancer. Chants of 'tumor boy', IIRC.
