2mins 10 secs in he scores a pen and celebrates with a kid about 64yrs old but check out the 2 goals just after that.

 

His jinkin' feet could almost make you dizzy.

That kid was his son. I think it was something like his 100th Newcastle appearence so his son was mascot for the game.

[Cobs]

his balance and the speed at which he sorts his feet out with the ball at them is fantastic

thing is Rooney is only 22, double league champion, European Champion and an International of 40 odd caps - at the same age Beardsley was at Vancouver Whitecaps

 

what Rooney goes on to become - who knows

[ManxRed]

My Dad's a bluenose and we both like to ask the same question "why on earth did we offload him?"

[smithdown]

That one he cracked in with his left in front of the The Kop in the derby was his best. The feckin roof nearly flew off. He didn't so much celebrate as run away, he looked terrified.

[Chili Palmer]

Keanes got the Beardsley 'quick look over the shoulder' down to a tee...

[The Hitman]

F*cking Souness.

[Duncan Disorderly]

Thats a joy to watch. Some crackin' goals in there.

Rooney peaked as a player in 2004.

[Cobs]

again with the trophy count! I don't get this...

one player at the age of 22 was kicking about in the backwaters of the US socker league, one was being a major part of winning the biggest and best trophies in club football, what's complicated about it? It 's a fairly obvious point - even you yanks should get it.

marvellous

 

 

you don't know tomorrow's lottery numbers as well by any chance?

f***ing souness

[Guy_Incognito]

My favourite player when I was a nipper.

 

My dad got me The Peter Beardsley Story on VHS for my birthday, then fecking Souness went and sold him about a month later. The fecker.

 

Although I did see a bit of a show called This Is Anfield on ESPN Classic the other night where Souness was basically saying that he made a massive mistake in letting him go. That finally exorcised some demons.

[The Hitman]

f***ing souness

That's plagiarism.

[mathewbet1]

price in todays market 45m?

still my favourite player ever. unselfish to a fault and played like he enjoyed every single minute.

[Rory Fitzgerald]

Just watched it again and bumping up for those that didnt see it.

 

Absolute class, just pure class.

[aka Dus]

His ability to take a crack at the goal early was unreal. So many of those goals happened when the ball was struck so early that it surprises you even watching on telly.

 

Were there any goals from his Everton time at all? Don't think I saw one.

 

Remember that goal v City like it was yesterday. Weird feeling.

 

And why isn't this thread in the Liverpool forum? He's one of ours.
