Guest johnson293 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Was just reading about Darren Peacock on NUFC.com, and then did a Google search to see if there was anything to say what he was doing now, after he had to retire due to a back/neck injury. On his Wikipedia page it states the following.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darren_Peacock 'In 2008, Peacock agreed a 3-year deal with Newcastle to become a defensive coach, alongside former club assistant manager Chris Hughton. He was living in Portugal at the time.' Can't remember hearing about this at all, even as a rumour - did it happen, or is it just something thats been added to wiki?

nobby_solano Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 never heard of it but it could be a wind up... like my addition to this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Fox_(footballer) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 He was terrible, (albeit a cult legend) cant see this one happening. We certainly would have heard about it at the time if it was true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 He was terrible, (albeit a cult legend) cant see this one happening. We certainly would have heard about it at the time if it was true. He wasn't terrible at all. He was probably the only defender we had at the time who was interested in being an actual defender. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was usually the one left on his own whilst Beresford, Albert and Watson/Barton bombed forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 i liked the fact although our defence was crucified by pundit's we had the 2nd best defence in the league in keegan's first spell which shows attack is the best form of defence, which I've always believed in Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skirge Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Got voted most improved NUFC player or summit like that in his first season, he did get better and he did get stuck in he was always pissing blood from somewhere on his head.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to irritate me intensely to see Peacock criticized because Howey went walkabout. Never the makem blamed. Baffling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans player of the season twice I think wasnt he? Looked ungainly, had a tricky start, but I thought he was a good player for us. EDIT : Donkey Peacock?

Guest Jungle Barry Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Once he started tying his hair back he was excellent, as pointed out previously he was usually the one trying to hold the fort while the rest of them were trying to score Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mucky01 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 ‘Sharren’ Peacock (as he was nicknamed because of his long blonde hair), was a very good defender. Wasn’t it him who had 1 leg 2 inches longer than the other? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few average defenders there, a few s*** ones, but overall the stats were good and the defence didn't look that bad because the rest of the team were controlling the game through the midfield and/or ripping teams apart down the other end of the pitch.

Mick Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 He was terrible, (albeit a cult legend) cant see this one happening. We certainly would have heard about it at the time if it was true.

Mick Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sharren Peacock (as he was nicknamed because of his long blonde hair), was a very good defender. Wasnt it him who had 1 leg 2 inches longer than the other? I think he had special boots made because of his legs being different lengths, he had a minor disability but he was much better than most we've had since he left.

Mick Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Why? I'm not sure if he was haggling over more money, I seem to remember that he was quite settled up here at the time and when he left I was a bit shocked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
