RIP Peter

Have to be one of the greatest sporting individuals this country's ever seen.
Going to be a lot of heartache amongst our boys - an absolute idol - or villain, depending if you were a Ford fan - to most men in this country.  Whether they were a Ford supporter, would have been a lot of respect for him
Some girls thought he was okay as well 

For a Pies supporter he did all right
