Peters, like another West Ham legend of later years Sir Trevor Brooking, exerted his influence through speed of thought and natural ability as opposed to physical presence. England's man ahead of his timeMartin Peters scored England's second goal in the 1966 World Cup finalIn the modern parlance, Peters was a "bolter" in Sir Alf Ramsey's plans for the 1966 World Cup - the player who came up on the rails to make his case for inclusion close to the tournament. He did not actually figure in England's line-up at the start of the 1966 World Cup, missing the opening group game against Uruguay at Wembley. Peters may have had an inauspicious end to a magnificent England career but his record of 67 caps, 20 goals and a World Cup win secures his place in history.
