BlyBlyBabes 0 Posted March 22, 2010 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.

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.For full article see:http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/martin-peters-i-cant-see-us-ending-44-years-of-hurt-1924707.htmlOTBC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody 0 Posted March 22, 2010 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
