Peter Clifford William James Beadle (born 13 May 1972) is an English football manager and former player who was recently manager of Southern League Division One South club Yate Town.
A former player, Beadle played as a forward, and he scored some 83 goals in 355 league games, mostly for the two Bristol clubs. He started his career at Gillingham in 1989 and won a £300,000 move to Tottenham Hotspur two years later; he never made a first-team appearance for Spurs, however, and was loaned out to AFC Bournemouth and Southend United, before he was transferred to Watford in September 1994. He moved on to Bristol Rovers a year later and, after 39 goals in 109 league games with the club, he was signed by Port Vale for £300,000 in August 1998. He was sold on to Notts County in February 1999 for £250,000 before moving to Bristol City for £200,000 seven months later. He spent four years with the club, as City reached the Football League Trophy final twice, losing in 2000 and winning in 2003. He retired after brief spells with Brentford, Barnet, Team Bath and Clevedon Town.
He entered management with Newport County in October 2005. He kept the club in the Conference South and led the club to the FAW Premier Cup final in 2007 and 2008, losing in 2007 and 2008; however, he was sacked in April 2008, after his team narrowly missed out on the play-offs for a second successive season. He then spent a brief spell in charge at Clevedon Town in 2010, and since then specialised in training roles with younger players and was appointed director of youth football at Hereford United in April 2013. He was named caretaker manager at Hereford in March 2014 following the departure of Martin Foyle as first-team boss. In April 2015, he was named the first manager of new club Hereford. He led the club to the Midland Football League title in 2015–16, as well as the Midland Football League Cup and Herefordshire County Cup, and the FA Vase final. He then led Hereford to successive Southern League Division One South & West and Premier Division titles in the 2016–17 and 2017–18 seasons, before being sacked in September 2018. He returned to management at Barnet in August 2020, though he left the club four months later. He returned to management with Yate Town for a brief spell from May to October 2022.
