[Archived] An Ex-rover Dies Peter Morris Aged 50

[JAL]

My wife works in Bolton with a lady who is the sister-in-law to an ex-young Rover Peter Morris. He went to the doctors last week complaining of something,doc prescribes anti-biotics, he goes away, continues to feel unwell, calls for an ambulance and sadly passed away at the young age of 50. Possible cause of death is thought to be an annorism though they are waiting for the final results.

So, so sad for Peter and his family they are all in shock as he was an healthy man who kept himself fit. I dont remember Peter playing for Rovers but a friend tells me he only played a couple of games left wing we think but then he broke either his ankle or his leg and left for another club shortly afterwards.
