Hart highlights Potters' attack threat

Portsmouth boss Paul Hart admits containing Stoke striker James Beattie on Sunday will be easier said than done.

The former England international has been back in the Premier League for almost a year after dropping into the Championship at Sheffield United and Hart rates the burly frontman.

He told the News: "James Beattie has always been a handful. He is a good player.

"I couldn't understand how he drifted away. I saw him as a kid at 17 and he was a good player then. He has some appetite back."
