Nobby not doing so well either. RE: Martin Peters - Dreamkiller - 12-21-2019 I'm not a great believer in the honours system, but surely the whole of that '66 World Cup winning side should have been knighted rather than just a select few. Peters was the man who was a minute away from being our match-winner. He was noted as much for his blindside runs as for what he did on the ball. Another hero gone. RIP Martin. RE: Martin Peters - Remi_Moses - 12-21-2019 Great player in his day - first 200K player IIRC = His nickname is very appropriate today. Thanks for the memories RIP Sir.

I've a mate whose Dad played up to International level, (Wales). He says the problem is absolutely rife in ex players of that vintage. RE: Martin Peters - garryowensneck - 12-22-2019 Bloody hell I am old enough to remember watching the 66 final and he was always the graceful epitome of a footballer who knew how to be in the right place at the right time. RIP Martin.

A very sad loss, but what memories he's left us with. Dementia is awful. You only know how bad it is when you have to deal with it. RIP Martin. RE: Martin Peters - Kit Kat Chunky - 12-22-2019 I remember watching him a couple of times at The Hawthorns for Norwich when I was kid. I didn't realise then what a privilege it was to watch a guy who scored and played in a World Cup final for England at my ground. RIP Martin. |
