Peter Shilton Summary
Peter started playing football at the age of 16 and was the youngest full time professional at Leicester City, when he started in 1965 and during his time there, they won the second division championship and were also runners-up in the 1969 cup final.
Peter transferred to Stoke City in 1974 for a (then) record transfer fee of £330,000 and again achieved that figure in his move to Nottingham Forest in 1978. Whilst with Forest they won the European Cup twice, the (old) first division championship, the Milk Cup (the League Cup) and the European Super Cup. In 1980 Peter was awarded Player of the Year.
In 1983, he was transferred to Southampton who came runners up in the old first division. Four years later he moved to Derby, working with the elusive Robert Maxwell until 1992, when he went to Plymouth to become player-manager.
Three years later in 1995 he joined Wimbledon and then just one year later he went to West Ham and then Leyton Orient in quick succession, and whilst at Orient he achieved the world record for having played 1000 games (his career total was actually 1009).
Moving from the playing field to the changing room, Peter joined Middlesborough on their coaching staff and in 2000 he retired from football altogether, after 35 glorious years.
