Beardsley boosts young Seagulls
Brighton's players were praised by Newcastle legend Peter Beardsley after the Magpies won their FA Youth Cup quarter-final on penalties.
"We've had lots of compliments," Albion youth team coach Dean Wilkins told BBC Southern Counties Radio.
"Peter's been in our dressing-room at the end of the game, and he was so complimentary about the way we performed. It means a lot to everybody.
"Obviously some of the younger lads were a bit scared by the way Peter looks but after the shock they were chuffed.
"We've got further in the competition this year than we have ever done."
The young Seagulls had knocked out Chelsea and Blackburn in earlier rounds.
