Peter Fear

Peter Fear (born 10 September 1973 in the London Borough of Sutton), nicknamed 'Fearo', is an English footballer, playing in central midfield. He currently plays for Sutton United in the Conference South, having rejoined the club in December 2006 after a nine-month absence which took in spells with Havant & Waterlooville and Carshalton Athletic. He is currently vice captain at the club. He originally signed at the start of the 2004-2005 season after two years with Crawley Town, with whom he won his second Southern League championship medal in 2004; he had also been a member of Kettering's successful line-up two seasons earlier. He made his name with over 70 appearances for Wimbledon in the Premiership, and he has also played for Oxford United.

Fear featured in a famous weekly comedy sketch in Match magazine, entitled "What if Peter Fear was?" the picture would then show the player in a humorous new job such as a vicar, or, most famously, as a potato.

Peter Fear's career highlight to date was scoring twice in the space of ten minutes, against Tottenham Hotspur in the 1997/98 Premiership season. Unfortunately for Fear, Wimbledon went on to lose the game 6-2, and Fear's goals counted merely as a consolation.

On the edition broadcast on 23 August 2007, Peter was a contestant on the TV gameshow The Weakest Link.
