Personal life
Beadsworth briefly served in the Leicestershire Regiment and the King's Royal Rifle Corps of the British Army in the early 1890s, before being discharged for being underage.[5] He married in 1897, had four children and later worked as a shoe hand in Hinckley after his retirement from professional football in 1906.[5] After the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, Beadsworth re-enlisted in the Leicestershire Regiment.[5] His battalion was deployed to the Western Front in July 1915 and by March 1916 he had risen to the rank of sergeant.[5] Beadsworth was gassed during the Third Battle of Ypres, and he was transferred to Wimereux, France, where he died of his wounds on 9 October 1917.[5] He was buried in Wimereux Communal Cemetery.[6]
