Kevin Beattie (18 December 1953 – 16 September 2018) was an English footballer. Born into poverty, he played at both professional and international levels, mostly as a centre-half. He spent the majority of his playing career at Ipswich Town, with whom he won both the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup. He was named the inaugural Professional Footballers' Association Young Player of the Year at the end of the 1972–73 season. He suffered a variety of injuries, and his playing career included some controversy, such as when he went missing when selected for England's under-23 team. After retiring from playing, he descended into alcohol abuse before finding a new career in later life as a football commentator on television and radio. Beattie has been called Ipswich Town's best ever player by many pundits and polls. Former Ipswich (and later England) manager Bobby Robson called him the best England player he had seen.

 * You would have to remind me then (say early August). I would suggest putting it in the TFAR/P template for now, and likely it will jog my memory, but still remind me. I can't commit myself 100% to running it because no one knows what will come along, but in the absence of factors like that, I'd be glad to have one day less to figure out an article to run. That's as definite as I can get, because if History of the widget comes along for the centennial date, I'd get a lot of grief if the date was already taken.:) Sound good?--Wehwalt (talk)
 * Sounds entirely reasonable to me. I'll bung it on TFAR/P now., you're more organised than me, will you do the honours in early August? --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 20:54, 20 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Pinging Wehwalt .... you asked for a reminder. - Dank (push to talk) 01:34, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
