Peter McConnell signed for Leeds from school, but it took him
nearly 5 years to break into the first team. He was switched
between defensive and an inside forward role at Leeds before moving
on to Carlisle, where he was a first choice player for 7 seasons,
making over 300 appearances. He enjoyed a couple of years back in
Yorkshire, playing first for Bradford and then moving on to
Scarborough as player-coach. He subsequently followed the
time-honoured route from football into the pub trade.
Simmy M says: Pete was landlord of the Hare and Hounds pub in
Rothwell for many years and was an exellent host and knew how to
deal with the youngsters (which included me and my mates nearly 20
years ago). He has since retired to Oulton and the golf course.
He's a nice old lad and very funny on the golf course. We share the
same birthday and used to buy each other a drink on 3/3, VAT wasn't
it Pete? If you read this see you on the next Mark Collin golf
day.

note to the spammers who try to add their links to this page by

the server side does similar checks and throws your garbage
