Very sad news indeed - like you Whales I never saw Peter play, but know well enough quite how important he is in the history of Colchester United - I've also had the pleasure of briefly meeting him on a couple of occasions, needless to say always when following his beloved U's.
My thoughts are with his friends and family - RIP Peter [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Sad news indeed, I never saw him play but from articles and the stats it was clear that he was a true Colchester legend.

RIP Peter.
Guys I was lucky to see him a lot in the late 50's and early 60's and still remember with awe when he set off on one of his runs.
What a winger and a gentleman to boot. |  | | |

Very sad news. I know the term legend is used all to often, but Peter was someone who well and truly was a U's legend. As with the rest of you, his playing days were well before my time, but I always heard fond words about him and often saw him at home games. |  | | |

I note on the #colu twitter feed suggestions that a stand should be named after him. A fitting tribute in my opinion. I used to see hime in the W stand, now the W can have a new meaning. | | | |

He once drew out my 50/50 ticket.....I won over £200 smackers.
.....hence my particular U's hero too, even though I never saw him play. |  | | |

Saw him many times in the 50s, not only a great player but loyal too and very sporting, I think it was Peter Wright who lost a contact lense during a game and the players came out at half time to look for it.
Thanks for the memories. RIP. |  | | |

Sad news indeed , never saw him play, but my elders and betters only ever spoke highly of him .Must have been special to have played that many games and for one club. Will never see his like again .
Best wishes to his family . |  |

My first sporting hero, hence my username. He terrorised most right-backs with his pace and control and provided devastating crosses for our forwards. And yes, Carruthers, it was the great man who lost a contact lens and had players from both sides looking for it. It was never found.
Thanks for some great memories, Peter, and RIP. |  | | |

Yes I was at Layer road the night he lost his contact lens! | | | |
