What sticks in the mind apart from his goal at Wemberlee? Alf Ramsey describing him as “ten years ahead of his time”. My memory is of a player with a super football brain and immaculate positional sense. Never seemed in a hurry. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

There's only Geoff Hurst who can top him in Englands' World Cup history - so far. RIP Martin Peters Blundell Park - The Home of Grimsby Town Football Club (still)

I can't remember watching it at the time (no surprise) but apparently I did. RIP Martin Peters. When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Nevertheless a great player. Later that year I saw him have a brilliant game against Notts Forest. Superb. Interesting if you go down that West Ham team sheet though to see how many of them were (relatively) local to the club. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."
