08 June 2011 16:46
Peter Beardsley wants to see less of teenage defender James Tavernier next season, and hopes he gets into Alan Pardew's Premiership squad. Peter Beardsley: “Tav was outstanding last season. He’s stronger physically, he heads it well, and he’s obviously an athlete. “He can run all day, and I’m guessing that was one of the things that stood out when he came to the club. “All he’s got to do is cut out the mistakes and, if he can do that, he’s got a real chance. "He did well in his loan stint with Gateshead even though it was in the Blue Square Premier League. “It’s a good standard and I watched him play against plenty of decent teams. "Ryan Donaldson had impressive stint at Hartlepool and Gateshead. “They got on well, and they improved as players for their time on loan. “There’s a lot at this level to try to improve on, whether it be in training, or matches. “But there’s a lot to look forward to.” A 'THANK YOU' TO FOOTYMAD READERS ...

FOREWORD BY FAIRS CUP HERO JOHN McNAMEE Sports Journalist Richie Everson: "At last a book that the fabulous Newcastle United fans can relate to. It's informative, all the facts and figures are there, plus the 120 match reports from all the fixtures ... but it is the articles by the supporters that amazed me. "I went to many of those games, and this is the only book I can honestly say 'hits the nail on the head'! "Yes we know the results and the scorers, but some of the facts in this book had me so wrapped up in it I couldn't put it down. "Was Benny Arentoft cup-tied when he played in the final?
