- Peter Thomas (footballer)
Peter Thomas (born 20 November 1944 in Coventry) was a goalkeeper who played for Coventry City in 1966. He made only thirteen appearances for Waterford before returning in 1967. Peter is associated with bringing a new style of goal-keeping to the League of Ireland. He rarely kicked the ball on the offensive, throwing when possible with great accuracy.
He took out Irish citizenship to play for the Republic of Ireland and made his debut in 1973 against Poland, keeping a clean sheet but having to come off at half time due to a pulled muscle in his stomach [http://www.soccerscene.ie/sssenior/matchdetails.php?id=144] .
He earned 2 caps in total the other in Brazil in 1974. Peter Thomas nearly joined Manchester City F.C. in the early seventies but they instead opted for Joe Corrigan. He has won five league medals and a cup medal and played in 12 European Cup matches for Waterford.
He took over as manager of Waterford United F.C. in August 1988 but resigned in December due to work pressures [http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/archive/1988/1220/Pg003.html#Ar00307:6437C46747D96F98107298256417726B97A46897C46CB7D965182C68284164D8E46838F9] .
