Re: A sad day
I imagine one or two us of a certain vintage will be shedding a tear for this fella on Sunday.
No frills from Peter, what you see is what you got, a whole hearted,all action and brave footballer who put his head in where some wouldn't put their feet.
Top man.

First player I can remember clearly. Stood outside Turf Moor to pay my respects.

Re: A sad day
Broke our hearts at the Hawthorns that night and perhaps we overlook that Uwe was as lionhearted for Swindon as he was for us. Third Division Swindon topped Arsenal 3 - 1 at Wembley when the Competition was taken seriously by most teams, making Noble a League Cup Winner.

Re: A sad day
One of my favourite all time Burnley players. A skillful no frills player who always gave 100%. I bet his family will be proud tomorrow, hope they are there to see the respect he will get.

Re: A sad day
I like many others will have been unable to pay our respects as the Cortege passed the Turf at 1-30pm today, but he was in my thoughts and hope someone can update us all on the turnout for 'Uwe'.

Re: A sad day
Lots of very good memories of Uwe. At a time when many players seemed to give 100%, Peter always gave that little bit more.
His 4 goals against Norwich, having scored a hat-trick in the previous home game, should have got more recognition than it did. Not many players can score 4 and still not walk away with more than a point.
R.I.P. Peter

Re: A sad day
Whenever anyone down south asks me about our better previous players he always one of the first to spring to mind. Always felt safe when he was playing because he always gave everything.
Thanks for the memories Uwe. RIP

Top man indeed...and not just because of his talents in football. A simple definition of leading by example would be Peter Noble.Juan Tanamera wrote:I imagine one or two us of a certain vintage will be shedding a tear for this fella on Sunday.

Re: A sad day
One of my all time favourite Clarets. Can't be there today as still in Kent today. Any update from the Turf would be appreciated.
The one thing that I will always remember about Peter was not even about football.
When my Dad collapsed suddenly one day in a large group of people, Peter was the first person to come and help me and my brother. I will never forget that.
Thanks for everything Peter. RIP.

Re: A sad day
Decent turn out for him today. Really nice touch taking the funeral cortège past his photo on the Jimmy Mac Stand before it emerged on Harry Potts Way.
So, so sad to see a special player for the last time.

Re: A sad day
Yes, I thought that was a brilliant touch, taking a detour past his picture.
A class act for a class act - sorry you had to leave so soon Peter, rest in peace solid claret.

Re: A sad day
I've had his picture, a football card from 74, on my desk beside the pc for over a week now... My own family, Burnley crazy as they know I am, even they pay their respect by not teasing me
...Once again, thank you Noble Peter...UTC!!

Goodbye Peter....thanks for my school kit every year. And the trainers.
Another ex player who stayed on in the town that loved him...not many left now.

The first player I remember from a match.... my grandad pointed him out at at corner saying to watch him attack the ball.... and he did. Things that stick in your head. The photo says a lot.
