PaulC Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 This deserves its own thread. So sad to just read the news. Wonderful football, great left foot and was very disappointed when we sold him. Thoughts of with his family and loved ones. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Great talent. Struggled for game time with us but like Davis, Albrighton - goes into the category of one we moved on far too soon. He was streets ahead of Championship level in his peak years at Cardiff. Surprised he stayed with them for so long. RIP. 35. No age. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Peter was a genuinely decent guy with a cracking left foot and very good technique. I watched him many times for both the first team and reserves. I was sad to see him leave, and I'm immeasurably sadder to be writing this after his tragic accident. Rest in Peace Peter. Edit: This thread really needs to be moved to the main Villa Talk page. He was one of our own for a good period of time.

DJ_Villain Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Heartbreaking... He’s the same age as me and to lose his life due to such a tragic accident is awful and really proves exactly how fragile we are as humans... Thoughts go out to his family and friends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Horrible news. Was happy for him that he was able to carve out such a long and distinguished career with Cardiff. Our ex-players are really going through a horrendous period aren't they?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People die before "their time" every day - i get that. It's just that reading the names of those who we knew better than others just really brings home to me that Life is precious.

hogso Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Inquest says he fell through a fire door during some 'horse play' with friends, having been out watching the rugger, and hit his head on a step. A tragedy. Stay safe folks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted November 4, 2022 Share Posted November 4, 2022 Just bought tickets myself. Probably another 100 ish tickets left i think. Will be my first match in 12 years. Obviously just a friendly but quite excited, hopefully a good atmosphere as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Does this game deserve it's own thread in the fixture list? It'll be fascinating to see how plays with still a month to go. I assume players aren't given a whole whack of time off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
