Not him - as explained here below the stats.

Stockport County at Old TRafford
apparently there was a match on before, only 13 paid for the 2nd game, cant remember who Stockport were playing.
It was the only game on that day, there weren't two. The day? Christmas Day. Who in their right mind holds a match on Christmas bloody Day?
Possibly the worst player ever to play for Celtic was a Brazilian named Scheidt!
Rumours that they were after the Celta Vigo player Turdo appear to be unfounded......

They were hoping to make Celtic Park a mutch greener place by investing in £5m worth of Scheidt.
There was also panic at the coroprate buffet as then manager John Barnes said he intended to use Scheidt to fill a number of roles.

Correct. Still think Dunfermline making the semi-final of the UEFA Cup is weirder!
Next thread should be on football upsets and great comebacks. Would take something special to beat Boro's two great escapes last season. Any takers?...
As for shock results.... Dundee Utd beating Barcelona home and away in the UEFA Cup semi final has gotta be up there with the best of them
The first person to score at Wembley in bare feet, was Tony the Tiger against Peter Shilton.

no way!!
Im a city fan - cant remember that Beardsley actually played for city. I think he warmed the bench for a couple of games and then moved on.
Here are the full facts regarding PBs glittering career at maine road:
Peter Beardsley
Manchester City FC 1998
POSITION Forward
DATE OF BIRTH Wednesday, 18th January 1961
PLACE OF BIRTH Newcastle-upon-Tyne
DEBUT Wednesday, 18th February 1998 in a 2-1 defeat at home to Ipswich Town (Aged: 37)
CLUB CAREER (During loan spell) 5 League apps (+1 as sub)
SEASONAL RECORD: 1998
In a playing career spanning 20 years, Newcastle born Peter Beardsley played almost 900 games for ten different clubs. Having started at Carlisle as an 18 year-old in 1979, Beardsley's best playing years were undoubtedly spent in the colours of Newcastle United and Liverpool where he spent twelve of fourteen seasons from 1983/84. By the time he became a loan player (from Bolton Wanderers) at Maine Road on February 17th 1998 it would not be too unfair to say that he was in the twilight of his career. Having said that though even if he had lost some of his old speed and stamina, City fans could see what a marvellous player he had been. He'd always had a terrific footballing brain, the ability to kick with both feet and was still capable of defence-splitting passes. Capped 59 times for England (including the World Cups of Mexico '86 and Italia '90), Beardsley's arrival in Moss Side coincided with a desperate battle against relegation to the Second Division. It was a battle doomed to ultimate failure and perhaps not even one that a Beardsley in his prime could have prevented. Following his debut in a 2-1 home defeat by Ipswich on February 18th, Beardsley then replaced Georgi Kinkladze at half-time as the Blues won 3-1 at Swindon. A 3-0 defeat at Reading was followed by back-to-back wins against West Bromwich Albion (1-0 at home) and Huddersfield Town (3-1 away). Four days later, City lost 2-0 at home to Oxford, a game that sent them to 20th in the Division and marked the last of Beardsley's 5/1 appearances for City. The programme notes for the game with West Brom claimed Peter was 'on a mission to keep City in the First Division'. Even though the Blues won 5-2 at Stoke on the last day of the season, they still failed in Beardsley's mission and the likeable Geordie was still a loan player - this time with Fulham.
