He was a very good keeper in an average side.
This was a few years before he left for the Mail. He was a City man through and through then and I have no reason from our several chats that he would ever be anything else.
Karl Woodward also spoke well of city but did not play himself. Karl also covered the boxing and one or two other sports. Both divided their time writing for the popular pink sports paper and covered all the local league stuff.
Chris Stuart joined the Western Mail as a young Journo and later became Peter’s replacement and Chris went onto presenting for BBC and BBC Sports radio commentary with shared duties with fellow Western Mail Journo Grahame Lloyd. Grahame hailed from Lincoln but became a firm City fan and I believe is published. He now works in England somewhere but also used to provide radio commentary for City and Wales games.
I ran a Sunday morning team in the Civil Service League and remember playing against them. I don't recall Peter playing but Bob Humphreys definitely did and was a very friendly bloke. I met him a few times years later when I was with Inter Cardiff and he was doing features and he was still the same. Sad that he was taken so young - I always wondered if it was a legacy of standing at a smokey bar in the Malsters, Whitchurch on his way home every night.
Grahame Lloyd also came to a few games and I bought a copy of his book 'C'mon City' one week when he brought a pile along to sell.
