RIP Kevin Beattie.

[Big Duke Six]

Great player. Very sad news.

 

[EDGE]

RIP The Tank.

 

[Buchans Boots]

A very good player in the Ipswich Town team late 70's early 80's.

What a shame. A stalwart of the Ipswich side. RIP.

 

[AB22 Easy Tiger]

That’s a shock, very good player.

RIP

Anyone who grew up watching football in the 1970s has heard of this bloke. A northern lad, one of many who ended up at Ipswich Town. I remember going with my dad in about 1975 to watch Middlesbrough v Ipswich and he was amazing. A true great whose career was ruined by injuries. Sad to hear of his passing.

 

[Elephant]

Just to add a little bit more. He was an integral part to a very good Ipswich Town side. FA Cup winners UEFA cup winners, a side that were one of the main rivals to the virtually invincible Liverpool side of the time. Sad news.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Sad news.
A top player in his day.
RIP Kevin.

Fine player. The rare sort you could build a team around. Rock solid & nee little skill either. Peace be with him, his family & friends.

 

[TK-421]

Bloody hell - only two years older than me. He could put himself about when he had to, but was much more of a footballer than the average 70's clogger.

RIP

You’re 62? Bloody hell I thought you were a lot younger.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

You’re 62? Bloody hell I thought you were a lot younger.

I don't believe in acting my age

 

[Al Bundy]

Great player in a great team. RIP.

 

[TK-421]

I don't believe in acting my age

I can see. Would have thought twice about sending you those pictures now

 

[SurreyMackem]

Great player

[70s traveller]

RIP Kevin, great player

 

[Uncle D]

Quality player in his day.

 

[Rob the Ref]

Bloody hell - only two years older than me. He could put himself about when he had to, but was much more of a footballer than the average 70's clogger.

RIP

Aye about the same for me, gets a bit worrying when more and more players and managers from our era pass on.

Wor Bobby must have needed a left half up there.
