stunned and shocked if this is true

Gutted. No other words to describe it.

I am absolutely devastated. He was the best. Such natural, God given talent. Could have gone all the way if the sliding doors moments were in his favour. RIP you will be loved and remembered FOREVER.

Already done. I'm raising a few as well.

Thanks

No

 

[ECYellow]

Can’t hold back the tears. He was such a huge figure growing up. An idol and legend but most importantly, he was a father to 2 children.

I feel so sad.

Stunned and numb. An Oxford United hero.

Goodbye, Joey. RIP.

My God.

Tragic.

Words absolutely fail me.

RIP.

I wasn't fortunate enough to get to see Joey play - but the legacy he created at OUFC is one that I know and feel, will be known by every OUFC fan until the end of time.

RIP Joey.

I will never forget the perfection of the player that gifted within the toes of the imperfect humanity that was Joey.

Joey was everything to me as a child. He played at the same local boys club that I did. He played in the same position as me. He carried the same smaller physique. He was equally as hopeless in the air. He graced the green rectangle that was my temple. He epitomized everything I dreamt of being. He defined everything that made my childhood days at the Manor adrenaline induced ecstasy. The sheer tremor of excitement that reverberated around the ground whenever he received the ball even in his own half.

And then…just the sheer magic, unknowing and disproportionate level of talent that he then waved with yellow and blue wizardry. Iconic legendary moments over and over and over again.

Thank you Joey Beauchamp 1971-2022

This is so, so sad, what a player.

For those not fortunate enough to see him play in the flesh, just a brief glimpse of his talent.

Just how good was Joey Beauchamp?

He was signed by West Ham for £1.2m but didn't play a game. Here are some of the goals

Please RIP, he was a hero for some of us, watching him go down that wing. People talk of legends of the club. He was a true legend. He had a lovely family, only spoke to him a couple of weeks ago. Shedding a genuine tear for the player.
