      ‘It’s like being punched in the stomach’ – Beresford still haunted by Newcastle’s 4-3 defeat to Liverpool 29 years on

      by

      IT took a decade before John Beresford could stomach a re-watch — and 29 years on it still ‘haunts’ him.The Newcastle legend, 58, will be at Anfield tonight to see his former side face leaders Liverpool.John Beresford was part of the Newcastle side that finished second in 1996Credit: GettyStan Collymore scored a stoppage time winner in Liverpool’s 4-3 classic vs NewcastleCredit: ReutersAnd one-time left-back Beresford enjoyed many memorable moments in the black and white as part of Kevin Keegan’s Entertainers.Yet despite some famous wins — such as a 5-0 triumph over Manchester United — there is one defeat in particular he gets asked about most.Keegan’s Magpies were ten points clear at Christmas in 1995 but blew the title after surrendering their lead to Sir Alex Ferguson’s Red Devils.A pivotal moment in that slump occurred on April 3, 1996 when they went toe-to-toe with Liverpool in a match decided in the final seconds by Stan Collymore.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLTo this day, that 4-3 Anfield defeat makes Beresford feel “horrible”, even if it was voted the Premier League’s greatest match.Speaking exclusively to SunSport via BetSelect, the Toon fan favourite said: “I still get haunted by it.“It’s a bittersweet thing as I’m reminded about it so many times.“People used to say to me it got voted the best game in the Premier League and I was just like, ‘Whatever’.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS“About ten years after I retired I was in a gym and it came up on Sky Sports Gold — and I thought, ‘I’m gonna watch it’.“I got on an exercise bike, then couldn’t take my eyes off it but it was just horrible.Newcastle’s Alexander Isak talks to Alan Shearer about Champions League desires “It was interesting to watch it from the outside. It was hypnotic. But, I have to admit, it got to the last minute and I just couldn’t watch.”Robbie Fowler fired Liverpool into the lead after two minutes before Les Ferdinand and David Ginola put Newcastle 2-1 up. Fowler equalised early in the second half but Faustino Asprilla restored Toon’s advantage.Collymore drew Liverpool level as this thriller looked set to end with honours even — until the former England striker struck a killer blow deep in stoppage time.Beresford said: “I remember the goal clearly. I remember falling over. I tripped when John Barnes goes through and, as I get up, he rolls it to Collymore who smashes it in.“I felt sick and just couldn’t believe what had happened. It’s like being punched in the stomach.“It was the weirdest sensation as it’s the only time in a game where I thought, ‘That just doesn’t seem right’. How did we get beat? We had actually played really well.“Les even had a couple of great chances towards the end to go for us, you know, for when we went 3-2 up. I knew what the gaffer was like when he was in that mood.“Most managers would shut up shop and get people behind the ball but we just didn’t have those players.“Kevin just wouldn’t do it that way. You keep going and you score.“Even people who usually could slow it down with professional fouls couldn’t, it was that open.“There would be a shot, the keeper would save it… and then there would be a breakaway again.”Beresford continued: “Because of the Liverpool history of Kevin Keegan and Terry McDermott, there was always a buzz when we went to them and we’d always done OK.“Kevin just went beforehand, ‘Right, come on boys, this is where we can show everybody what we are’.“He never liked long Churchillian speeches. It was always just a little comment here and there and this was like, ‘We’re going for it’.”However, even Keegan was lost for words at the end of this one as their title dreams faded away.Beresford said: “It was the weirdest thing I had ever come across afterwards in the dressing room.“It was silence — absolute silence. I’m thinking that Kevin was going  to flip, because he could, he could give you a right b******ing.“But he didn’t say anything. It was the first time he’d been like that. I don’t think he knew what to say and was as distraught as we were.”United went on to lift the title as Newcastle finished second and a few months later Keegan had resigned.Beresford revealed: “A couple of years later, I bumped into Jamie Redknapp and he said Liverpool were devastated they beat us because they hated Manchester United.READ MORE SUN STORIES“Looking back, am I devastated we lost the league? Absolutely. Honestly, it still hurts now thinking about it.”But the part of it that I love is not that we came second — but we’re still talking about it now.”Beresford admitted the defeat still hurts nowCredit: Getty More

Shall we go down the Holmesdale [Road Stand]?”Palace fans, I genuinely don’t know what to say. “Right, kids, let’s leg it down the other end because Villa clearly don’t want to play.”So the group headed down the field to complete the fun and games.

      Former Man Utd star, 47, who became a monk after growing bored of footballer lifestyle opens up on living in monastery

      by

      A FORMER Manchester United midfielder has opened up on life after swapping football for a career as a priest.Phil Mulryne, 47, played just five times for the Red Devils after coming through the academy before starring for the likes of Norwich and Cardiff.Phil Mulryne has revealed how he keeps up with Man Utd despite a stunning career changeCredit: PA:Empics SportThe midfielder is now a catholic priest after admitting he was bored of the footballer lifestyleCredit: PA:Press AssociationHe decided to hang up his boots in 2008.But in 2017, the 27-cap Northern Irish international went down a stunning new career path by becoming a Catholic priest.Mulryne had revealed at the time how he had grown “dissatisfied with the whole lifestyle”, where he once earned over £500,000 a year and dated models, including Nicola Chapman.And he has now opened up about his life’s second coming and how it compares to his old job as a footballer.READ MORE IN FOOTBALLHe told Belfast Live: “I live in a monastery, so I am more of a monk, really. And it’s not on the surface, but there are a lot of the qualities there.”They were saying, sacrifice, giving yourself to something greater than you, in the sense that I live in a community of brothers, there are 15 of us in the monastery.”So there is a sense of dependence on each other, the kind of things that Man Utd taught me, all these virtues and characteristics that you learn from being here.”I have a superior in the monastery that I answer to, like a manager, like a gaffer.Most read in FootballJOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS”All these things have been great. I had a most wonderful career. It was a dream to come here and play.”He also revealed how he keeps up with watching Ruben Amorim’s side – not that there has been much to write home about.Federico Macheda says he’d get into this Man Utd team and reveals Sir Alex Ferguson’s amazing claim about himMulryne, whose full title now is Reverend Father Philip Mulryne, added: “We don’t have TV in the monastery. “We have a room with a couple of computers, so I watch the three-minute highlights. “I get all the highlights, so I keep in touch with it.”Mulryne also revealed how Sir Alex Ferguson had called him while he was in hospital after he suffered a horror leg break a year after joining Norwich.He previously told the official Norwich website that he had no regrets over the decision, admitting the move to become a priest came after he volunteered at a homeless shelter.Mulryne explained: “It’s hard to pin down a particular moment. “I would say it started in my last year at Norwich, not explicitly and I wasn’t thinking about it at that time but I started to get dissatisfied with the whole lifestyle.”We have a wonderful life as a footballer and I was very privileged, but I found with all the surrounding stuff that eventually there was a kind of emptiness with it. “I was quite shocked – why am I not happy when I have everything that young men want?”It started me on a journey towards exploring my faith again, the faith that I had as a young man. “I took a decision to come home for a year and it was really during that year that everything turned upside down.”I volunteered at a homeless shelter for a while. I started going back to mass and I started praying again on a regular basis. I just found a real sense of fulfilment with it. “Football was huge highs and lows and here was something that was giving me a steady sense of contentment…”My vocation to priesthood and religious life came later in the course of that year – I felt this strong desire for this way of life and I stayed with it for a few months and then got the courage up to explore it and I took the decision and it’s now eight years later.”READ MORE SUN STORIESPeter Crouch, who played with Mulryne at Norwich, wrote in his book, How to Be an Ex-Footballer, that he believes his giddiness was part of the reason the midfielder ended up becoming a priest.Crouch said: “Maybe — and this is a possibility I don’t like to entertain — it was hanging out with me in those giddy months that convinced him he needed a fresh direction in his life.”Man Utd ratings vs EvertonMANCHESTER UNITED fought back from two goals down to draw against Everton at Goodison ParkThe Red Devils were slammed as “embarrassing” by Rio Ferdinand after failing 2-0 down in the first half.But they fought back late on thanks to a stunning Bruno Fernandes free-kick and volley from Manuel Ugarte, who bagged his first goal since his summer arrival from PSG.Amorim’s men were then lucky to escape a penalty in the final moments after VAR overturned the decision.SunSport’s Ken Lawrence has given his ratings of the Manchester United team…Andre Onana – 7United needed him with his game-head on, and his 93rd-minute stop saved a point.Noussair Mazraoui 69′ – 4Looked seriously uncomfortable on the right side of the back three – forced there because of a defensive injury crisisHarry Maguire – 4Out-jumped by Doucoure as the midfielder grabbed Everton’s second and was generally all over the place.Matthijs de Ligt – 4Nowhere for Beto’s opener, completely missing attempted clearance and got away with a 93rd-minute penalty call.Diogo Dalot – 5At least shows willing. Which is more than could be said for some of his team mates at Goodison.Manuel Ugarte – 7Spent most of the game stranded in United’s midfield morass but salvation came with a brilliant strike.Casemiro 62′ – 2The Brazilian is beginning to look like the world’s oldest 32-year-old —he’s become a genuine irrelevance.Patrick Dorgu – 6Made a determined start down the left flank but that enthusiasm was slowly but surely sucked out of him.Bruno Fernandes – 8His free kick was genuine class and once he was dropped deeper started controlling the game.Joshua Zirkzee – 4At £36.5M you would expect an element of ball control but the Dutchman used as a joint No 10 just looks lost.Rasmus Hojlund 69′ – 3Not so much a desperate Dane, more a despairing one although it would help if he had some support.Subs:Alejandro Garnacho 62′ – 7Injected some desperately needed pace and passion. Leny Yoro 69′ – 6Should have been on much earlier.Chido Obi-Martin 69′ – 5The 17-year-old has a presence for sure.
