Such sad news. I started attending regularly in the mid-late 90s when he was at his best and has remained one of my favourite GTFC players. I was too young to truly recognise his class but the fact he’s been a constant in my all time 11 says enough. RIP Peter.

Really sad news if true, but the closest thing to confirmation I've seen so far is a random bloke on Twitter.

I really hope it's not true, a really classy centre half.

Incredibly sad news. Was one of my favourite Town players growing up as a kid in the 90s. I played at CB through youth football and definitely looked up to Handyside, remember being gutted when he went to Stoke.

Terrible news, if true. A year or two younger than me which brings it very close to home.

Oddly enough, my main memory of Handyside isn't of him playing, (though he was a very classy centre-half, even at a relatively young age), but it is him staggering around outside of JDs absolutely blotto as I was queuing to get in one night! I think he was out for a longish-term injury at the time, but rehab was a bit different in those days!

Back in the day, it seemed you would see most of the younger players out in Clee on a Saturday night. Made it feel like they were 'one of us'.

Wow that really is sad news, he was a class player and a really nice bloke.

According to wiki he scored 4 goals for us, I'm sure I remember seeing him scoring at Ipswich to earn us a 1-1 draw if my memory serves me correctly.

Absolutely gutted by this news.

Such a quality classy player.

49 is no age.

Raising a glass to him tonight.

Rip Peter. Thanks for the memories.

Took my granddaughter to see town play at Ipswich .

Peter scored the only goal of the game so became her favourite player.

Far too young to go RIP. Peter
