I always thought he would be a full cap for Scotland.  Very cultured player.  He played in various games alongside Paul Futcher, Graham Rodger, Mark Lever, Andy Tillson, Richard Smith, Ashley Fickling, Steve Livingstone, Paul Groves, Paul Raven, and Menno Willems.

RIP, gutted to hear this.
A fantastic player for us and one of my favourite defenders ever for the mariners. In my time supporting these were the best years and he was integral to that. A very sad day

Awful news.

Don’t take what I’m about to say disrespectfully but watching Peter was like watching Paula Radcliffe.

Ungainly brilliance, genuine brilliance, but without the crapping on the side of the road.

Peter was so classy and had an amazing, dry sense of humour. Him and Jack Lester were a funny double act.

It’s a dark night.

I have just read it and find it hard to believe. 49 is no age at all in this day and age. RIP Peter

Never thought him ungainly, rather the converse, tending towards the elegant, not Coe elegant perhaps, but certainly an easy mover.

It was the elbows. You wouldn’t want to have jostled with him in a queue for a Smirnoff Ice in Pier 39. I did.

Peter was elegant on the ball, there’s no doubt about that.

He learnt a lot from Paul Futcher, was very disappointed that he left us on a free..He was a million pound rated player...Lennie preferred Enhua, Pete couldn't get a game so he left...one of my many heroes from a fantastic team, that one day I hope we can replicate.

RIP
