Beddows Takes Swipe At Short

Upon learning the Burton Albion boss has tipped Beddows’ Blackburn for relegation in the Pundit Picks from a private conversation with Hirst, Beddows reminded his Burton friend of his special friendship with Burton chairman Ben Robinson.

He said “As many of you know I have met Ben many times at various functions and parties and he has said that one day when I am ready I can have the Burton job. My Nan who is friends with Ben has also promised me that she dreams of seeing me in the Pirelli hot-seat someday” (70% true in real life J)  

Beddows actually missed his side’s pre-season game v Bologna on Tuesday leaving Youth Team boss Benedetto Mangiapane in charge as Albion Chairman invited Beddows to be guest of honour at Burton’s second pre-season friendly at the Pirelli.

He was even lucky enough to have been invited to do the Half-time challenge where he set an all-time record at the Pirelli stadium. (FYI it is actually me and yes it was (and still is) an all-time record at The Pirelli Stadium Crossbar Challenge)

Short reacted angrily to Beddows’ exploits on the pitch at half-time claiming that he would have got “3 points” and that he will deliver 3 points on Saturday!

In all seriousness though going away from Beddows at Blackburn and Beddows in real life. An old student of mine at a school where I worked for 4 years died aged 19 last week. He was a Burton Albion season ticket holder and a Liverpool fan (poor lad). If any of you are lucky enough to have any spare cash then please follow the link and donate anything that you can afford.
