Very upsetting sad news of another larger than life alty legend passing away.
I hope we can all smile as we imagine the massive party in heaven with Pete and all the other departed lost friends.
Im assuming god will have a hangover from hell but will later direct churches to combine sunday services with a carvery and quiz night and the lords prayer will now begin with the words "eyes right".
RIP Pete a lovely funny smiling guy.

That's sad news, and the owner of the Ghana Alty flag I believe?

I'll try and call in at the club so I can grab it, and take it to Spennymoor on Saturday for him.

RIP Pete.

That's very sad news.....Ecky & I called into his pub in Alsager before the Kidsgrove friendly last month, glad we had that opportunity to see him.

Another larger than life Alty fan lost to us.

RIP The Gazelle!

This is terrible news.  Pete was a fabulous guy and a true Alty fan.  There will never be his like again.  Will be sorely missed by us all.

Didn't know Pete that well but used to enjoy reading his posts on the forum.

Far too many Alty fans have left us in the last few years...

Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Pete.

I promised the General I would never share the infamous Cheshire senior cup final footage 🙄. Don't worry I won't mate

I'll never forget you taking all the yoof on in a stop off pub on the way to Northwich one away day in a pool contest . You wiped the floor with us all !

A true legend and top bloke

Terrible news to wake up to. I went to school with Peter but really knew him through Alty. I remember many occasions and incidents, most of which should go with him rather than be retold here. I remember some great days going away full of laughs and the occasional bit of scary stuff. Rest in Peace big fella, keep an eye on Alty and I hope the fishing is good up there. Goodbye Looie.

Never met him but shared a few conversations on here and the Radio Robins chat room.  I know we shared a love of Katy cider he once posted

"The only problem i have with Katy is its too bloody strong and very moorish. it creeps up on you after a gallon and minces yer brain cells and memory and  you start to talk a load of sh*te .

i can only assume northwich fans have been into the phenomenom that is katy for a long time!"

Still talking after a gallon - I was gone after two pints of katy!

To appear friendly even via a keyboard is rare, RIP friend.

Was only talking about him before the Crewe friendly. Didn't properly know him, but knew of him from the early days. Always a larger than life figure. Always took the lighthearted approach in life, on the forum and latterly in the RR chat room; if only more could adopt his approach.

RIP

I hope and trust he got a fitting send off.
