Martin Peters

Martin Peters came through the ranks at his local club West Ham, making his debut against Cardiff in 1962. An intelligent, attacking midfielder he would go on to become a regular in the first team and helped the Hammers to European Cup- Winners' Cup glory in 1965.

He joined Tottenham in 1970 for £220,000 and enjoyed further success, winning two League Cups and the UEFA Cup. He left Spurs in 1975 to sign for Norwich  before spending a brief spell at Sheffield United.

Peters made his international debut in May 1966 in a pre-World Cup friendly against Yugoslavia, and would go on to become an essential part of the World Cup-winning squad. After being left out of the team for the goalless opening match against Uruguay, Peters returned to play a key role in England's victories over Mexico and France. In the quarter-final it was Peters' cross that set up Geoff Hurst to head the winning goal, and he again impressed in the 2-1 semi-final defeat of Portugal.

Winning only his eighth cap for England, Peters was excellent in the final against West Germany and with the score poised at 1-1 he rifled home a half volley to put England in control. Germany equalised late on but glory would still come England's way with a 4-2 win in extra-time - Hurst completing his historic hat-trick.

Peters was later part of the 1970 World Cup team that endured a disappointing quarter-final exit at the hands of Germany and he endured misery again two years later when Germany put England out of the 1972 European Championship finals. After captaining the team that failed to beat Poland to qualify for the 1974 World Cup, Peters played just three more games for England as new manager Don Revie started to reshape the side.
