Sadly, the reviews haven't been too kind - especially for Pedro's verse, with one listener describing his take as "haunting".
"I'd love to have seen everyone's facial expressions when Beardsley started to rap," posted another, although one YouTube viewer claimed they actually preferred his version to that of Liverpool winger Barnes.
To be fair to Peter, his talent was undoubtedly in his feet and not his flow. He was that good with the ball, Chronicle legend John Gibson named him the greatest ever Newcastle United player.
And as for Gazza, this wasn't the end of his music career - when he almost topped the charts with a cover of Fog on the Tyne with Lindisfarne.
Their attempts at the track have come to light after they were shared by Omega Auctions, a specialist auction house for music and culture memorabilia.
They were made public to promote an upcoming auction organised by Peter Hook, the New Order and Joy Division bassist.
And even the firm admitted that Beardsley's take was something you simply "have to hear".
