My Take
Martin Peters is one of football's quiet greats, and that's exactly why I admire him. He scored England's second goal in the 1966 World Cup final, yet history tends to spotlight Geoff Hurst's hat-trick and leave Peters in the margins. To me that undersells a beautifully intelligent midfielder whose ghosting runs and clever positioning made him decades ahead of his time. From West Ham to Tottenham, Norwich and Sheffield United, he was the craftsman every great side needs. His MBE and his place in that legendary squad feel fully earned. He passed in 2019, but his legacy is permanent.
