Peter McConnell signed for Leeds from school, but it took him
nearly 5 years to break into the first team. He was switched between
defensive and an inside forward role at Leeds before moving on to
Carlisle, where he was a first choice player for 7 seasons, making
over 300 appearances. He enjoyed a couple of years back in Yorkshire,
playing first for Bradford and then moving on to Scarborough as
player-coach. He subsequently followed the time-honoured route from
football into the pub trade.
Simmy M says: Pete was landlord of the Hare and Hounds pub in
Rothwell for many years and was an exellent host and knew how to deal
with the youngsters (which included me and my mates nearly 20 years
ago). He has since retired to Oulton and the golf course. He's a
nice old lad and very funny on the golf course. We share the same
birthday and used to buy each other a drink on 3/3, VAT wasn't it
Pete? If you read this see you on the next Mark Collin golf day.
