So glad we gave a great guy a great time

Recommended Posts

World Cup winner Martin Peters in yesterday''s Independent:

Like Hurst and Bobby Moore, the other members of the West Ham triumvirate, he failed as a manager. The opportunity, at Sheffield United, probably came too soon. "I took it because I wanted to stay in football but I didn''t have enough knowledge of the way things were run. It was a mistake. I should have stayed at Norwich, where I had a great time." He was 37 and went back to live in Norfolk, winding down with occasional games for Gorleston, and finding that possession of a World Cup-winners'' medal (and a taxable £1,000 bonus) did not exactly set a family man up for life.

Although i was a bit young to fully appreciate it at the time, i feel truly privileged to have watched him play at Carrow Rd for 5 years. He really was still in his prime!
