Peter Shilton
England goalkeeping legend Peter Shilton is his country’s most capped player of all time, amassing an amazing 125 appearances for his country. His career began at Leicester City in 1966, where he was the youngest player to play for Leicester City at the tender age of16 - taking over from the equally legendary Gordon Banks.
Throughout an unbelievable career spanning 30 years, he played for 11 clubs, accumulating a record 1,005 League appearances.
In 1977, Peter signed for Brian Cloughs newly promoted Nottingham Forest, who then went on to shock the footballing world by winning the league title on their return to the top flight. More success followed on an International stage as Peter was a huge influence in Forest then winning two successive European Cups.
In Peters record 125 International appearances, he helped England to 66 wins, and amazingly was still playing at the age of 40 at The 1990 World Cup Semi Finals.
Infamously, one of the best remembered moments in his International career came in 1986 when he became the victim of Maradona’s cheating ‘hand of God’ goal!
During his extinguished career Peter was voted the PFA player of the year and also received both the MBE and OBE for his services to football. In 1990 following his retirement, Peter was awarded the Order of Merit by the PFA.
Peter has now established a new career for himself as an a hugely popular and experienced speaker, comfortable in addressing both corporate and sporting audiences alike. He is also a mad keen golfer and is available for corporate golf days in addition to numerous other personal appearance opportunities.
