An ambitious Shilton considered moving from Leicester after relegation, but decided to stick with his boyhood team. Time would show that this was a wise decision, as Shilton impressed England manage Alf Ramsay sufficiently to warrant a debut international performance against East Germany, with England winning the game 3-1. A little over six months later, Leicester were promoted back to the First Division of English Football, thanks in part to Shilton’s outstanding performances.

During his playing career, Peter won two back-to-back European Cups with the Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest and was named the PFA Player of the Year for 1977-1978.
