He twice attempted to break a player's leg in a derby game. He's even managed to exasperate Roy Hodgson with his tactical immaturity. He's been hyped way, way, way beyond actual quality of content, like Star Wars spin offs and Peter Kay sitcoms. And he's about as sound a physical specimen as James Corden. And almost as irritating. Get that nine foot pole out (Oncey) and keep him at bay.

He said: "I heard a really interesting thing about what happened with the Ross Barkley transfer. Conte turned his phone off and Barkley's representatives were trying to contact him.

"He wanted to say 'look, where am I going to play', and Conte turned his phone off. That is why Barley got cold feet and never signed.

"He thought, 'well, if the manager isn't answering the phone to me he clearly doesn’t want me', and that is why he went back to Everton."[/article]
 
If I recall, Dalglish typically dropped him for away games, where he liked to load the team with full backs playing out of position (e.g. vs Arsenal in December he played Abblett, Burrows, Nicol & Venison). Beardsley played consistently at Anfield,
