Career

Newcastle United

Beharall started off his playing career at hometown club Newcastle United in 1996 where he graduated to the first team in 1998 after being captain to the youth and reserve teams.

1999–2000 season, Beharall played 2 more Premier League games; the 3–3 draw against Wimbledon[6] and the 5–1 loss at Manchester United.[7] The match against Manchester United turned out to be his last match for the club. After two years without a first team appearance, Beharall wanted to join Preston North End on loan after spending two days at Deepdale in early January 2001,[8] but Preston's manager David Moyes decided against the move.[citation needed
]

Grimsby Town

With first team opportunities running out at Newcastle, Beharall joined Grimsby Town in August 2001 originally on trial, with a view to a loan move due to Grimsby's lack of centre backs.[9] After his trial he joined The Mariners on loan in August 2001 for 3 months and made his début in a 1–0 win against Crewe Alexandra on 11 August.[10] David played another 15 league and cup games for Grimsby Town, including the 2–1 cup upset they inflicted on Liverpool in the League Cup 3rd round at Anfield on 9 October 2001. Beharall gave away the penalty that Liverpool midfielder Gary McAllister scored as he was judged to have handled the ball in the penalty box. That goal gave Liverpool the lead with 19 minutes left but goals from Marlon Broomes and Phil Jevons in stoppage time cancelled out Beharall's mistake and Grimsby pulled off a big cup upset.[11] Beharall ended his loan spell in November 2001.

Oldham Athletic

Ten days after leaving Grimsby Town, Beharall was on the move again, this time to Oldham Athletic on a loan deal to the end of the season.

Beharall left his wallet and mobile phone in the car but was relieved that he and Griffin were OK.[18] During the 2003–2004 season Beharall played 7 league, 2 FA Cup and 2 Football league games, he also scored 2 league goals against Plymouth Argyle on 1 November 2003.[19] After playing only 6 league games during the 2004–05 season new manager Brian Talbot, Beharall left the club on 24 January 2005 after agreeing a settlement figure.[20]

knee ligaments.[24] When he returned from injury in October 2005, Beharall played 6 League and 2 Football League Trophy matches. Most of these appearances came in October and November. However, with the lack of opportunities, Beharall left Carlisle by mutual consent on 1 February 2006.[25]

Stockport County

After being released by Carlisle, Beharall decided to join

relegation and also hoped to impress the County manager Jim Gannon enough to earn a new contract for the following season.[26] Beharall made his début for County in the 2–1 away victory against Chester City.[27] Beharall played another 11 league games during the 2005–06 for Stockport and was starting contract negotiations the managed Jim Gannon,[28] but in May 2006 Beharall retired due to an ongoing bad knee injury.[citation needed
