Thank-you to Peter Rhodes

I must take this opportunity to say thanks to Peter for all his good work over the years. Always found something interesting to report and always hit the nail on the head.

One of the best things in the Shropshire Star.

Funny and incisive.

What a man!

Sadly missed.

Football at the present time is a disgrace. All the teams cheat to win games, taking players down when running for goal, holding players in the penalty box, these should be red cards.
