That's a great tribute, Dave.
The Sports Argus headline after the 1957 cup final was simply "Peter the Great". Richard Whitehead describes his first goal that day as “a flashing diving header of awesome power which ranks among the greatest of Cup Final goals.”
Many have commented on the great man's modesty. I met Peter a few years ago and told him that my two all-time favourite Villa players both came from Ireland, Paul McGrath and Peter himself. I wanted to hear about his time at Villa, the cup final and his goals, but he spent the next few minutes saying what a tremendous player Paul McGrath was; barely a mention of himself.
