A Geordie centre back/left back who signed for Leeds for a bargain
£45,000 in 1986, Peter Haddock suffered a series of injuries that
limited his appearances for Leeds when he first joined, but under
Howard Wilkinson he became a crucial part of the defensive unit that
won promotion in 1989-90 and was Wilko's choice as Player of the
Year. No doubt he could have gone on to be an effective squad member
for several years beyond that but for a freak injury sustained in the
second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Manchester United that
ended his career.
Shaun O'Neill says: my friend is his son.
Simon Riddlesden says: I had a fight with his son.
Neil Spofforth says: 'Fish' as he was affectionatly known was my
favorite player and a colosus at centre half the season Leeds United
won promotion. My 1st live game was the 4 - 2 victory over Swindon
Town when Fish got his only goal for the whites.
mark says: I saw Peter Haddock play many a game for Leeds United
during the great late 80's he was a solid defender. Not many players
got passed him he ALWAYS gave 110%. If he was a player in todays game
he'd be worth millions. Thats not Taking the Piss either.
Carl Haddock says: peter haddock is my dad and we now live in
newcastle.even though we live in newcastle im a avid leeds
surrporter.probably because i was born there and my dad played for
them.
Declan Box says: peters son carl is my only friend in school
Simon Riddlesden says: Sorry about the fight,i am still bruised
though i want sweet revenge!!!!!!!!!
