Peter Charles King (born 3 April, 1943 in Worcester) is a former English professional footballer.

Career

King began his career at his hometowm team Worcester City before being spotted by Cardiff City and signing for the club in 1960. He made his league debut in October 1961 against Burnley as a right winger. During the early part of his career, King suffered from a chest illness that nearly forced him out of football before he managed to overcome it during the 1963-64 season. He scored his only career league hattrick the following season during a 6-1 defeat of Middlesbrough and he became the first player to score for the club in European competition when he found the net during the home leg of a tie against Danish side Esbjerg fB.

He was a vital member of the side for the following few seasons, including finishing as top scorer during the 1967-68 season. After spending thirteen seasons at Cardiff he was forced to quit the game at the age of thirty-one after suffering an achilles tendon injury.
