Quote from BBC Three Counties in 2004, referring to Robbie's
involvement in a 2-1 defeat of Chesham United: "Up front Robbie
Beard is one of those irritating players who niggle endlessly
at opponents then go down as if poleaxed when touched by an
opponent - Steve Sinclair caught an elbow in the face on the
blind side of the referee in the second half - yet he and Marsden
posed a constant threat that Chesham's forwards were unable
to match".
Moved to Brackley Town in summer 2005, after signing at Solihull
Borough.
Rejoined Rugby United - by now renamed Rugby Town - in December
2005.
Signed for Leamington from Brackley on 21 January 2008. Left the club at the end of the season. |
