Peter Rodrigues - Southampton

Southampton

Rodrigues was signed on a free transfer by Southampton at the age of 30 in 1975, after being released from his contract by Sheffield Wednesday. The Welsh international full-back was signed by Lawrie McMenemy as cover for Steve Mills who had been injured in a car crash and was out of action for a lengthy period of time. Peter's first season at The Dell could not have been better with the side winning their first and only FA Cup. Rodrigues started at right-back in the Wembley final where Southampton beat Manchester United 1-0. However, Rodrigues' second year at The Dell saw his playing days ended with a persistent knee injury.

He made 59 league appearances for Saints scoring 3 goals, plus a further 13 cup and other appearances.
