I just come across this site and it brought back many memories of Playing for various football teams with Peter including Aldershot and Farnborough and Hampshire school trials, usually along with Kenny Marsh, all from Yeomans Bridge School. When my team West Ham played Arsenal Peter always got me tickets and we often discussed it on the phone
Hope he is well in France

SHINTON, BOBBY

Updated: 04-12-25

Great player for Wrexham. I remember one night Bobby & Graham Whittle had had a few drinks & were singing in the pubs corner when someone mentioned his playing was so much better than his singing. Next thing Graham is messing for a fight & bobby is messing holding him back

It was all a joke (I think) but a funny example of how entertaining Bobby Shinton was. In my opinion the greatest Wrexham player ever & should have made a bigger impact at Man City.
