Leicester City and Sheffield Wednesday
Peter joined Leicester City in December 1965. Peter was signed to fill the right back position, moving John Sjoberg into the centre of the field. Rodrigues was an established Welsh international when he arrived at City for a club record fee of £42,500. Rodrigues’ attacking full back play set a standard to City's play in the next decade and when Steve Whitworth replaced Rodrigues he played with the same passion to go forward. Rodrigues was a fine over-lapping full-back who was renowned for his sliding tackles. He played in City's losing 1969 FA Cup final, missing arguably their best chance on the day, before leaving to join Sheffield Wednesday in October 1970.
Peter made 139 league appearances for Leicester scoring 6 goals, plus a further 29 cup appearances.

Famous quotes containing the words city and/or wednesday:
“This city now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie
Open unto the fields and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“Moneys is your suit.
What should I say to you? Should I not say,
“Hath a dog money? Is it possible
A cur can lend three thousand ducats?” Or
Shall I bend low and in a bondman’s key,
With bated breath and whispering humbleness,
Say this:
“Fair sir, you spat on me on Wednesday last,
You spurned me such a day, another time
You called me dog; and for these courtesies
I’ll lend you thus much moneys?””
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
