Joseph "Joey" Beauchamp (/ˈbiːtʃəm/ BEE-chəm), born 13 March 1971, is an English football player who plays for Abingdon Town of the Hellenic League Premier Division.
Beauchamp plays primarily as a left midfielder, and played for most of his career at Oxford United but also had spells with West Ham United and Swindon Town as well as a short loan spell at Swansea City before moving into the lower leagues.
Beauchamp was born in Oxford and began his career with Oxford United as a youth-team player, living with his parents and two brothers in North Oxford, near the club's former home at the Manor Ground. Beauchamp would go on to make 124 appearances for the club in his first spell in the yellow shirt, during which time he also made five appearances on loan at Swansea City.
Beauchamp was sold to Premier League side West Ham United in 1994 for a then club-record (sales) fee of £1.2 million. However, he didn't last long; having not played a single competitive game for the Hammers, Beauchamp decided he couldn't stand the traffic travelling from Oxford each day, and a mere 58 days later he was signed by Swindon for a club-record combined fee of £800,000, which included defender Adrian Whitbread going in the opposite direction. Whitbread was valued at £750,000 in the deal.
