He was pilloried by the media when the central defence was posted missing. He had been excellent for us until that game. wasnt billy mcneil frank munro with bobby murdoch allin our defence?

Let me say he was responsible for breaking my heart on many occasions Nice big guy, but nowadays. Would never have got a game. He was as slow as the lights going round in his girvan lighthouse Off the top of my head Few tankings up at Pittodrie He spilled the ball to Archibald in dyings moments in game we lost 3-2 78/79 i think 79 CHAMPIONSHIP DECIDER where he was absolutely shocking when we only needed a draw 80 cup final where he sat on his arse too early as their winner took deflection and the ball trundled in to break my heart. This one was painful 83 MCCOIST OF first minute goal game. He spilled the ball near the death to give bheasts a win they did not deserve Long long list if i could be arsed finding them His long ball that took one bounce and big dj scored in a Scottish cup semi against Motherwell if I remember correctly ? Think it was the winning goal could be wrong though lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skipped off on my tod, as my Mum wouldn't let my go with my older brother Will never forget being outside the ground myself . And grown men lifting me up and passing me along the line to get in free . Then inside the ground . Bottles and full cans of piss flying past my ears . Loved it back then People forget this was almost a come back from the dead . We were getting a tanking first half from a very dominant Motherwell . It looked like treble hopes had gone.

Not sure that any of the ones you compared Big Peter with could have stood the punishment keepers got before the rules changed ..... Peter was no worse than any of the others of that era ... and he had his moments or he would not have been our number one choice ...... the whole team was of a different standard back then .... and they did bring home the ECWC from Barcelona to their credit with Big Peter between the sticks ..... that achievement alone makes him stand out as a winner and he deserves to be remembered as such.

Have to disagree Bobby. 😜 Big Peter had the best protection in the game. Not from the officials as you say, but from a Mr J Greig who was known to lay anyone out who went through the keeper.😁 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent but prone to some bizarre errors. No intention of taking anything away from the big man, as others point out he was with us a long time, therefore not a bad keeper and will of course be remembered as part of European cup winners cup team of 72. But my original point is we have had quite a few better goalkeepers since still stands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim1690 4,534 Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Have to also remember that Scottish goalkeepers were a music hall joke back then, so not a lot of competition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LochendBilly 8,410 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Had many a "Chat" with big Peter as a boy(Mostly being told to move), Kennedy was keeping him out of the team so he played for the reserves and they played in the Albion if they couldn't use the stadium, I used to stand next to his post(A square one) and he kept moving me away. I also used to "Dog" the school to go and watch them training. A big dumpling maybe, but a hero of mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha made me laugh mate I used to dog school and go to watch them training in the Albion many a time. Had a right laugh especially when big jock was the manager he didn't give a fuck who was there he was still shouting and bawling at all the players.
