Peter Beattie

[Davalon]

Anyone know a player of this name who was a youngster training at United with Wilder back in the 80s who then went to Leeds?

Reason I ask is that my son has been in Northern Ireland this week as his girlfriend lives there and whilst in a pub near Hillsborough (yeah ) that he's been in a few times before, so has met a few staff and regulars, he was introduced to a bloke who drinks in there because they know my son is a Blade.

My son thought I'd know who he was as I'm in my 50s and grew up with two or three lads who trained with United in this period.

It's not a name I'm familiar with at all, but he was telling my son about training at United with Wilder and then going to Leeds and playing at Anfield.

Admitted he didn't make a go of it and left the game early.

Not suggesting he's a Walter Mitty but dont know the name and Google isn't giving me much.

Silent Blade will be yer man

Don Peattie?

He didnt go to Leeds

 

[Grey Blade]

Could it be Peter Beagrie? He was at United 86/88. Silent Blade?

He lives in Harrogate and didn't play for Leeds, so unlikely.

I realised that after I posted (re Leeds). He must have been around at the time Cw was playing

Apparently he's on FB, I'll get a photo

I would assume that the player in question is Pete Batey. He was an apprentice at United at one point before being released. He is a huge leeds fan. He eventually joined the parachute regiment and was stationed in northern Ireland where he met a girl and eventually settled. He had a very successful career in the Irish League where we were teammates for a number of years.

Went to Everton, from us.

I think he used to do huge somersaults when he scored. Maybe the first player to do so.

Talented left winger. We never saw the best of him.

Yes, he did.

Went to Stoke then Everton.

In his pre match comments the day before Beagrie returned to BDTBL with Stoke, Bassett described him as 'a bit of a song and dance man' which I still find highly amusing.

How many fucking Beatties have we had?

Was a pundit on sky until something went wrong!

That sounds very much like the fella and my son has misheard the surname. Thanks.

Went wrong as in assaulting his partner I think? Was an absolute waste of airtime on Sky.

Good header of the ball and great leaper

Oh, sorry 'leaper'. My bad.

He was actually a great leper, and that’s what did for him. One of his feet fell off.

Not unless he was driving a motorbike through a shop window, good player but a nut job.

Did he become a great hopper?
