A lad I know plays in the tuesday night game Bardsley mentioned on Soccer AM the other week, John O'Shea plays in it, Ravel Morrison has played in it, loads of current and ex pro's. Dale Stephens played the other week and he said we was class, Erik Pieters turned up too, his words were "CRAP".

I suppose that a lot of that would depend on how seriously he was taking it though, surely? A career spanning almost 400 top flight games, including up until last year. On a side note, I wonder if Ravel Morrison played more games there than he has done professionally? What a waste of talent he is.

Both came in for enough abuse when here Exactly The amount of history re writing on here is unreal Bardsley was a fucking lunatic. A walking red card. Can't remember who he got sent off against towards the end of his time with us but it was a ridiculous challenge near the south stand. I remember looking at Hughes who was seething. I wonder if that was the final nail and that's why he,wrongly,plumped for Glenn Johnson.

Pieters was fairly progressive as I recall - good ability to find Arnautovic out wide at least. He just had a period near the end where he lost the plot a bit, and whenever he shanked out an easy ball for a corner the opponents would score.

I routinely rewatched the goals conceded most weeks back then and identified Pieters as the cause of the goal.
Yet frustrating as he was, it's hard to name a better left back over the last 30 years.

Too much 'Cheshire Housewives' or whatever it was called. His very attractive wife needed to be married to a Premier League footballer to further her pathetic career.

Beardsley will always have a place in my affection for this off the ball incident ๐ Sparring without headgear in a living room where a landing could have been straight to solid floor, into that glass cabinet or on the corner of a presumably solid wood desk of drawers. I forgot about this, what a dumbass.

A man who Fergie once said had the most natural talent he had ever coached and still managed to balls up his whole career Remember him scoring a great goal for West Ham at Spurs and thatโs about it Massive waste of talent
