mark robinson told me over the summer beckett was signing for york as his mother is ill and is in a nursing home near yorkshire

Bit wrong there robbo

a player I would have loved to see at Pools - an out and out goalscoring centre forward. Great player in his career in the lower leagues - although obviously personal matters must be affecting him at the moment.
Regardless that's a big, big drop down for him at one fell swoop. Surely there'd be a league club around there who would want him - even a Conference club!!!
