Dave Beasant

Dave Beasant is my kind of goalkeeper. At 193cm he was a wall, and what I admire most is the journeyman arc: from the rowdy Wimbledon era through Chelsea, Southampton and Newcastle, a man who kept being wanted somewhere. To me, repeated transfers across that many clubs are not a sign of instability but proof of durable usefulness, which is harder to sustain than a single flashy peak. His later turn to coaching reads like a craftsman passing on his trade. I respect that long, unglamorous career more than I would a brief burst of fame. A proper, reliable last line of defence.

David John Beasant (; born 20 March 1959) is an English football coach and former goalkeeper. As a player, he was a goalkeeper, who notably played top-flight football for Wimbledon, Newcastle United, Chelsea, Southampton and Nottingham Forest. He also was on the books at Premier League teams Tottenham Hotspur, Wigan Athletic and Fulham, but failed to make an appearance for either.
