Nicknames

Brian Beard

Brian Beard is a football journalist, broadcaster and historian. He has since become the longest-serving reporter for Sky Sports. He was also a ghost-writer for the late, great George Best. Before moving into the world of journalism, Brian once had a trial at New York Cosmos in which he scored four goals - but they opted to sign Pele instead. His passion as a football historian is simple: “Tomorrow, today will be yesterday”.
