A home-grown product, Peter, a skilful inside-forward who could also play wide, was given his first team debut by Jesse Carver as an 18-year old but failed to impress. He was released in the summer of 1956 and joined Derby where former City boss Harry Storer was manager. He made two appearances in two seasons with the Rams before Billy Frith re-signed him for Coventry in 1958. Despite his enthusiasm Peter got few opportunities and played only four games in City’s Fourth Division promotion season. In 1959 he joined Nuneaton Borough and later played for Rugby Town. He was a regular visitor at the Ricoh and an enthusiastic member of the Former Players Association before his death in 2019.
