    I think I would prefer the opinion of someone who has actually achieved something for England rather than the crop of rent-a-mouth has beens,never beens and wanna bes.

    Martin Peters our greatest ever signing IMO. What a player, Bill Nicholson thought he was finished when John Bond snapped him up for, I believe, 40K ! He went on to play for City for 6 years, considerably longer than he did for Spurs ! I remember vividly his testimonial at Carrow Road when over 20K turned up to watch the 1966 England World Cup winning side take on City.

    Who was it that described Peters as 10 years ahead of his time?

    Jury appears to be out on that quote. Most references cite Sir Alf, but many do indeed go for Greenwood.

    What a classy player though, so glad to have seen most of his games at City, and loving his comments on GH.

    Peters was absolute quality and played his part in what was another great Canaries team at that time.
