Newcastle United youth chief Peter Beardsley says chief scout Graham Carr deserves great credit for their success this season.

Carr has been lauded across the country for his talent spotting over the last 18 months.

And Beardsley says: "Graham Carr is one of the most important people. The job he is doing is incredible.

"The great thing is, he is from Newcastle originally, so he knows what is expected, he knows what the Geordies want to see on the field.

"When you look at Cisse's strike on his debut, I think there might be a few more there."
