Chris Beech
| Date of birth | 16 September 1974 |
| Place of birth | Blackpool |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 75 kg |
| Height | 1.80 m |
| Position | Midfielder |
Beech missed the start of the 2000-01 season at Huddersfield Town with a groin injury and eventually made his return in a goalless draw at Stockport County.
However, he was then sidelined by an achilles problem in October and this brought his campaign to a premature close.
A skilful attacking midfield player, he had been a driving force in the centre of the park in what turned out to be a very disappointing season for the Terriers.
Beech was sorely missed in his absence not least for the valuable goals he scores.
