        Legend of his era, only knee injuries stopped him being a legend at international level. Best @Official_ITFC player ever. Played in charity games with him,he was the nicest,daftest & funniest guy on the pitch.Following my mum shouting over to me he called me poppet all game! RIP

        As a Town fan of 46 years, Beats was THE best. If it hadn't of been for injuries he would surely have been one of the greatest ever England players as well. Very sad - RIP.
