  • Peter King volley

    Had never seen this before. Incredible strike. Peter King for Cardiff v Middlesbrough on this day in 1970 #ccfc https://t.co/egaQKz9hhn

    Only saw this goal for the first time about a year ago. Now seems to be getting the kudos it deserves. Trevor Sinclair thinks it’s the best volley he’s ever seen.

    Always felt Peter King was/is sometimes not given the recognition of his undoubted talent.

      He certainly was by those who saw him play. For me it was his sheer consistency that made him a stand out player. Probably never a 9 rating in any game but almost always at least a 7. A neat tidy ball player with good vision and a great shot. Boy could we do with a couple of Peter Kings now.

        What a tops turvy game that was. What a club stalwart Peter King was, so reliable. Scored our first ever ECWC goal as well against Esbjerg.

          He lives in Spain now and was running marathons a few years back.

          Scored more than a hundred goals for us, but I can’t remember his second best goal :hehe:

            I was at that game. I pretty sure we lost it 3-4. Im think we were 0-1 down then 3-1 up then conceded three. Brilliant game and cracking goal from Peter King

              I was on the Bob Bank almost in line with him. It was the most fantastic goal.
              PK was my favourite player for many a year and undoubtedly one of the best servants that CCFC had ever had.

                He was recognised as the top player he was by many fans and was a stalwart for the Club.

                    Best goal I've ever seen. Mind you Bobby Woodruff's goal in the same game was wonderful, too. Was in the Grange End.

                      Oh yes, he was Mr Consistency. Peter King was one of my favourite players.

                          Didn’t he used to live up Broad Street somewhere ? Often saw him walking to the game on a Saturday afternoon.

                            To my knowledge no pictures celebrating City legend Peter King at CCS. There's a picture of the waste of money Robin Friday. Take that one down and replace it with Peter King.

                              A great player who was always exciting to watch. So lucky to have seen City in the 70's at a full NP! Vintage stuff.
