Peter then went on to score 238 goals from the right flank. It was not his natural position, but since he was so excellent, he could play there. He also established a lot of goals for himself. He seldom went beyond the left-back since it just took half a yard for him to receive the ball on his right foot and send it zipping across. That's why they called him "The Wizard of West Bromwich". However, he was left-footed and scored with his left too. His brother John told me that when they were children, their father would make them write their names with their hands in opposite directions. If you do that, you will be able to write with either hand without difficulty. Peter started writing with his right hand as he got older but played with his left-foot until he was 20 years old. Even after that, he never gave up playing with his left. He was born on January 1st, 1931, so he was an astrologer's darling - having a rare left-handed quality. Also, he was very good at math and science. When he was 11 years old, he wrote a letter to the editor of The Birmingham Evening Mail asking why there were no left-handed footballers. No one else had ever asked this question before, so the editors printed his letter alongside theirs to help answer it. Many people believed that if Peter were given a chance, he would become one of the best players in the world.
