Peter Haddock

Peter Haddock (born 9 December 1961, Newcastle upon Tyne) is a retired footballer most notable for playing for Leeds United. He also played for Newcastle United and Burnley.

Peter joined his home-town club in 1979 with rave reports coming from his schoolboy days. He played in a calm and collected manner and got a good run in the side during 1981-82 but lost his place half way through the following season. He left for Leeds United for a snip at £45,000 in July 1986. During the early part of his career at Leeds he suffered a series of injuries, limiting his first-team appearances. However once he had returned he won player of the year in 1988. Under the stewardship of Howard Wilkinson "Fish", as he was known, became a crucial part of the defensive unit alongside Chris Fairclough that won promotion in 1989-90.

End of Career

His career was cut short however when he suffered a freak injury in the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Manchester United in 1991. Leeds went out 3-1 on aggregate yet Sheffield Wednesday won the final.

After football he first worked as a postman before moving in to his current work as a courier. He now lives by the sea in Northumberland and has two sons who are both big Leeds United fans.
