No Irish player has scored more goals at the World Cup and only Lineker and Kane have done so for a UK nation.

A sad loss of a great player and a very nice man. I'm far too young to have seen Peter play but among the things I remember reading about him after to him I was introduced when I was a kid is that he scored with his first touch in international football.

Rest in Peace sir.

Again, before my time but an absolute legend in our house.
Such sad news.

Meet him once (matchday) outside the North Stand (with Andy Turnstile) a few years ago ,  he was getting on a bit then , I presume he was still driving as he asked us was snow forecast later on ! A player my Dad loved .I just re-watched the Video on the Villa website , a very humble man who loved the Villa. HEITS.

What a player and a man!

Sad news. I too was hoping he would see us win the fa cup again but it’s not to be. He played and scored in my first ever Villa game in 1960, sadly I don’t remember much about it. Not so many years ago he was entertaining us in the Holte suite, a real Villa legend.
