Maybe his play style was pleasing on the eyes, or he was very inconsistent with a very high upper ceiling? His stats suggest he wasn't all that compared to how he's described by nostalgic fans. I did see him and he was that special Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of goals and assists he certainly didn't contribute much for an attacking midfielder, but that doesn't have to tell the whole truth of what he contributed to the team on the pitch.

Dancing Brave Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Peter Beardsley is the best player I have seen play for Newcastle United, Tony Green was just before my time. When I was just starting to go to the games in the late 70s all the older fans at the time raved about Tony Green. I wish i'd seen him play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

After he joined in October 1971 he was voted man of the match in two thirds of the games and was the main reason for our revival from being bottom after his first game. Unfortunately he suffered a career ending injury at the start of 1972/73. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a talk in years ago (I wasn’t there), but he was devastated to leave NUFC and held a small, but respecting grudge against KK for selling him. He was a very good player for us, underrated, and part of the start of our rise under KK. Shame he seems a religious freak these days, but again, that’s an amazing family photo of him, his boy and his now grandkid. Lovely to see! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was standing just about where the second pic was taken from. I say standing, but my feet barely touched the ground for 90 mins. How everyone got out of there in one piece amazes me to this day. The crush at Leeds the other week had nowt on this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This match was just shocking from start to finish once we got inside. The trip down was amazing, so many, singing throughout. But once inside there was too many tickets sold for the spaces, this was compounded by the paddock to the right being empty. Spent the whole game with arms locked on a barrier with two folk in front of me. Throughout the match coins and spit was raining down from the delightful home crowd. Next day headlines were Geordies Riot. Children were being passed over the crowd. Initially the police were preventing people from climbing the fences. Disgraceful behavior from the club and the police. To this day, my disdain for that club has never waivered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were dragging people up and stewards tried to stop us, good on them, when we pointed out the situation, the crush in that paddock they let us get on, one said he'd inform the police about how bad it looked.
