Biography

Beardo's goalscoring record may not be the best around, but it underestimates his importance to the team at crucial times in the four seasons he spent at Boro.

Few players have such a record - a Conference title win and FA Trophy final in his first season, a League Two play-off win and historic cup upset against Newcastle in his second, League One play-offs in his third, and finally League Two play-offs in his fourth.

A tireless workhorse up front, Beardsley first joined Stevenage from Kettering in summer 2009 as manager Graham Westley plotted his route to title glory. His ability to upset the rhythms of opposing defenders and do the legwork for his teammates was notorious, and an important element of that golden era side.

He only got better as time went on too - Griffin and Odubade both outscored him in the 2009-10 season, but he would outlast them at the club, even putting together a fine run of goalscoring form at the start of Boro's first League One season.

But after Westley himself left for Preston in January 2012, a substantial change to the squad ensued, with Beardsley failing to agree a new contract - he ended up following Westley to Lancashire.

After a spell there, he returned to Stevenage in time to contribute to another season that culminated in a play-off campaign. Westley was back, and looking for players he could rely on to give their all for the team. Beardsley was the obvious place to look, and played a supporting role in what would be his final season in a Boro shirt - Westley and Beardsley both leaving at the end of it.

He continued his playing days at Mansfield Town for a season, before taking up a role that seemed to be a natural fit for him - fitness coach, now at Burton Albion.

Unsurprisingly, he was a hit - working under four different managers until his departure for pastures new in 2023. His latest opportunity was an unusual one - he became a FIFA talent coach in Aruba in the Caribbean. We can't say we aren't jealous.
