Peter Price was a Welsh footballer (soccer player) who played professionally in England for a decade that spanned the 1960s and 1970s. He was one of that generation who bridged the gap between terminological eras, beginning his career as an inside forward and ending it as a striker despite playing a similar role throughout. After an apprenticeship and full time pro at Liverpool he joined Peterborough, during which time he played for the Welsh Under 23 side scoring the winning goad against Scotland at Swansea for whom he scored 62 goals in 119 appearances. In 1972 Price signed for Portsmouth. Price failed to make much of an impact due to a back problem which eventually ended his career early at Fratton Park and returned to his former club two years later. He ended his career at Barnsley, making his final appearance in the Spring of 1978.

“Travel is like adultery: one is always tempted to be unfaithful to one’s own country. To have imagination is inevitably to be dissatisfied with where you live. There is in men, as Peter Quennell said, “a centrifugal tendency.” In our wanderlust, we are lovers looking for consummation.”
—Anatole Broyard (1910–1990)
“Cecil Graham: What is a cynic?
Lord Darlington: A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.”
