Player Notes:
Young Beglin was destined for Arsenal when the deal mysteriously fell through, but only a few days later he joined Liverpool on a month's loan. Only 10 days into his stay he became Bob Paisley's last ever signing. Beglin was unafraid of the challenges ahead and even managed to find the time to score on his European debut in April 1985 with a bullet header in the semi-finals of the European Cup vs. Panathinaikos. The final in Brussels against Juventus, in which Beglin played, proved to be one of the blackest days in the club's history. Beglin started in 14 other other games that season and finally Alan Kennedy made way for the young Irishman in the left-back position in the 1985-86 season. Beglin's contribution proved crucial in the final league game of the double season when he played a major part in Kenny Dalglish's winning goal against Chelsea that sealed the title.
Beglin's Liverpool career came to an abrupt end when he suffered a horrific leg break against Everton on the 21st of January 1987. He never really recovered after that leg break despite playing 19 league games for Leeds and a dozen games at Plymouth and Blackburn after he left Liverpool. |
