Sad news.  A great player for us.

Rip Peter. Great player who sported a Ralph Coates comb over . . . before Ralph Coates did.

A sad day for the football club. A major name from a glorious era.

So long, Peter.

Sad news, RIP Peter!

In my best ever seen STFC X1. I remember him scoring in 4 successive 1-0 wins. True Legend

RIP Peter

RIP legend

Was my favourite player, back in the day. RIP Peter.

A member of the '69 team, who are all legends.

RIP

I just shrug my shoulders at most deaths but this one saddens me. Remember him coming back in the early 80s with Blackpool and getting a cracking reception. I suppose time must roll on but another of the 69 heroes gone. Would be in with a shout of being in an all time Town XI

Fancy Town fans having to find out from the Burnley web site.Not a thing on ours,a bit shabby in my opinion

Sad News, i was too young to see him play for Swindon but my Dad saw him many times.

RIP Peter

The family may have let Burnley know and not Swindon? Don't think it's fair to have a pop at the club. Seems anyone will moan about anything at the moment.
Anyway, I don't want to hijack a thread like this.
RIP, legend is used to much, but he really was.

RIP Peter Noble.
Sad news,.
Legend indeed.

I think stfc legend is justified in this fella's case. Rip

Cracking player. My Dad saw him play a few times but not myself. They're are the kind of players that are but a memory now days.

STFC Legend :(

 I once went to a party at Noble's house, which was a club house in Wigmore Avenue, later sold to stave off HMRC. Lovely fella, would have been about 68.

Back then the homoginisation of accents hadn't really started... couldn't understand a word he said.

As Chalkies says.... the rendition of the Noble song by the TE when he returned with Blackpool was a thing of beauty.

Likewise I remember Peter Downsborough's reception when he returned with Bradford City in the late seventies.
Saddened to hear of Peter Noble's passing, I have very fond memories both of him playing for the Town and that glorious era.

RIP to a Swindon legend who went on to prove himself in the old first division

A key component of the all conquering 69 squad. Scored and made many goals with his deft, glancing headers.

A genuine Town legend, RIP Peter.

You always knew what you were getting with Peter Noble which was 100% effort, high workrate and the ability to score goals, the sort of player that any team would be glad to have. Great memories of a legend. RIP.

What a player. King of the near-post header, usually from one of Rogers' crosses. I remember idolising him almost as much as Don as a kid.
Scored 27 penalties from 27 attempts at Burnley. How many players these days have a comparable record?

Noble, Noble
He's off to Mexico
Cause Francis Lee has got VD
Noble, Noble, Noble, Noble
etc.

RIP

Jeez that brings back memories, I can still vividly remember when Downsborough came out for the second half and started running towards us in the town end.  Have I remembered it right that he only left because we wouldn't give him an extra £5 a week?

Sad news about Noble. 72 is no age.

What sad news. A genuine Town hero. Thanks for '69, Peter, you helped give a generation of Town fans one of their best footballing experiences. RIP.

Peter Noble was part of a generation where I really thought dreams do come true..

In fact they did.... !!!

Rest in peace and thank you for the memories.   

There was a nice tribute to him on Radio 4 this morning, around 1:28 at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08qxd00
