Dobing, Peter I attended Nantwich Grammar school at the same time as Peter. I was in the year below him. I played in goal against him twice. As a 13 year-old he could kick a ball incredibly hard. It was almost unbelievable. Further, he was always very pleasant to younger boys and very unassuming. A really nice bloke.

Dobing, Peter I was about 18, about 1964, I installed central heating for Peter Dobing, the property was an old bungalow at Loggerheads. Last day - Friday Mr Dobing stated I did not look happy, I explained my boss owed me money, the following Monday morning 7.30am Mr Dobing rolled up at Forsbrook in front of the tradesmen he looked my boss Mr Lindsay dead in the eyes told him to pay up which he did. Mr Dobing must have travelled 22 miles. What an extraordinary fellow, a bloke you did not mess with. Ged Hunt

Dobing, Peter Peter Dobing my hero. I remember in the sixties the game at Chelsea was called off because of snow. And Peter took 4 large Stoke City scrap books back to Stoke for me. He took them to the training ground every day and got all the players to sign them for me. He will always be king of the Boothen End.

Dobing, Peter Peter Dobing was my favourite player and those who stood with me at the Stoke end of the Victoria Ground knew not to criticise him! On my 18th birthday in 1971 I received a birthday card and signed photo which still takes pride of place in my home.

Peter Dobing Peter came to visit my dying mum at her home just before she passed away. She was so excited to meet him as he was her favourite player. I have never forgotten his kindness and wish him all the luck in the world.

Dobing, Peter Peter was one of Stoke City`s most skilfull players , but i will always remember one game at the "Victoria ground " against Liverpool when Peter decided to give "big Ron Yeates " a whack . The ball was nowhere near but Ron Yeates , who was at least six foot six just looked at Peter and pointed to the Tunnel . I thought "thats the end of him " you did not mess with "big Ron "
