Kevin Beattie ex Ipswich Town reply

[rcsmg1]

I posted some cards to Kevin via Ipswich Town and got them back signed today.
Equally comfortable as a central defender or left full back,Beattie made his debut for England at Wembley in 1975 against Cyprus in a qualifier for the 1976 European Championships which ended in a 5-0 win. Little more than a month later,he scored with a stunning,looping header later named one of England's greatest fifty goals,as England beat Scotland 5-1,at Wembley.Beattie played a starring role as Ipswich won the 1978 FA Cup Final with a 1-0 victory over Arsenal. He missed their triumph in the 1981 UEFA Cup Final though after suffering a broken arm in an FA Cup semi-final defeat weeks earlier to Manchester City. Beattie's career was dogged by persistent knee injuries and accidents - he once missed a number of games through burns suffered when a home bonfire got out of control and after a testimonial in 1982,was forced to retire as his injury problems finally got the better of him.He was still only 28.He made short-lived comebacks at Colchester United and Middlesbrough before finally retiring from professional football.
