[edit] Career
Beagrie started his professional footballing career as an apprentice at Middlesbrough in 1983. Although well-loved by most of the teams he played for, Beagrie fell out of favour with the fans at Middlesbrough for being one of only two players (the other was then club captain Don O'Riordan) to cut ties with the club during infamous liquidation in 1986. The 1986 squad contained names who went onto succeed at the very highest level, including Gary Pallister and Stuart Ripley.
One of the highlights of his illustrious, ten-club career was gaining promotion to the Premiership whilst playing, arguably, his best football at Bradford City. He also made two appearances for the England B team and also played twice for the England under-21 side.
On his 40th birthday he made his 750th footballing appearance and scored his 100th goal for his ninth club, Scunthorpe United.[1]
Beagrie left Scunthorpe United in June 2006, supposedly to concentrate on his media involvement – but on 11 July 2006 it was announced that the 40-year-old Beagrie had signed a one-year deal with Scunthorpe's local rivals, Grimsby Town.
[edit] Retirement from playing
In October 2006, it was announced that Beagrie and Grimsby had agreed to terminate his contract. Beagrie's retirement from football was announced during the You're On Sky Sports programme on 30 October 2006.
He is now known for his media work for both Sky Sports and the ITV programme Soccer Night. He also appears on the football phone-in show You're On Sky Sports, usually on Monday nights. Beagrie has also made numerous appearances on the Sky Sports programme Soccer AM and every time he is mentioned on the show its presenters and other crew members rejoice with the phrase "Peter Beagrie is Mint".
[edit] Personal life
He lives in Harrogate, North Yorkshire with his wife Lynn and son Sam.[citation needed]
