After replacing the quite dreadful Mark Lawrenson, who was axed after PES 2010, Beglin has since been a key part of the PES series, always paired with veteran commentator Jon Champion - who is also expected to stay on for another year.
With recording starting in London this week, Beglin - whose professional career included game-time for Leeds United, Liverpool, Shamrock Rovers and the Republic of Ireland national team - has promised PES fans to expect "something different" for the next instalment.
@NKhan96@officialpes We start recording this week and I can promise you something different!
