Beattie earned his first senior England cap in a friendly against Australia, on 12 February 2003, during his most successful season with Southampton. It was just 15 days before his 25th birthday. Australia won the game 3–1, and the result was described (by the Australian media) as "one of the biggest upsets in soccer history".[30] Beattie played the whole of the first half of the game, and was replaced at half-time by Francis Jeffers, who scored England's consolation goal.
Beattie's brief international career seemed to have come to a close when he was not selected for Euro 2004, the England team coach Sven-Göran Eriksson preferring Emile Heskey as the "traditional" centre forward[citation needed] despite his having scored five fewer goals than Beattie in the previous season.

Franny Jeffers! The Fox In The Box!

please don't watch this game, it's awful

Sheffield United will wait on the fitness of Richard Cresswell (shoulder) to boost their options, with Ched Evans and James Beattie unavailable.

I didn't know it was on before you posted. I was happy then.

god this is grim

we were poor but we were happy

Well there you are.

pick that out

this tweet during the first half is the most dishonest thing on twitter during 2012 https://twitter.com/#!/SUFC_tweets/status/202116359210008578

Heartbreak for Stevenage

the second half of that tweet is fairly accurate

lol

he's ready

let's do this thing

"uneventful is the best word to describe that first half"

great times

Good grief. 30 more minutes of this. Looking forward to some of these fatties cramping up tho.

aw

Commiserations. 1-1 after eight penalties, it must've been quality. Was it the goalie who missed in the end?

yes

truly awful penalties. we cleared 2 or 3 off the line and did not deserve to win tbh.

man i am so sorry, listened to the shootout on the radio, that was insane

1-1 after 4, 2-2 after normal penalties. and then the next 9 went in.

what a disaster for sheffield united from ~february to now. not promoted with 90 pts.

undefeated in the league so far

goddamn this shirt was some shit

i had that shirt, great shirt, great team

what's happening to sheff utd this season - started like they'd crush all before them, now hanging on barely to play-off spot

caek tell me a tale of pyotr kachura

OH peter katchouro, now i kinda remember the cunt

yeah it's been awful to watch.

luckily i've been in texas and california since they had their first lost, so i've been largely out of the loop

kachura we adore ya

he was shit though mind

my main recollection of 90s blades is just thinking ffs how many seemingly quite effective strikers does dave bassett (and later warnock) need

altho's bassett's collection at palace was better, a classic squad indeed

That Thug Chris Morgan: initial thoughts, caek?

lol is he still alive

Hume underwent emergency surgery and spent 48 hours in the high-dependency unit of a Manchester hospital with life-threatening injuries.[4] In May 2009, it was reported that Barnsley F.C. and Hume were considering legal action against Morgan, who described the period since the incident as "a test of character",[5]

ha. i am in texas. i didn't know about the wilson thing. oh dear.

morgan is terrible, and every time i've heard him speak he seems very, very thick.

here we go
