Peter Rodrigues

Southampton Rodrigues was signed on a free transfer by Southampton at the age of 30 in 1975, after being released from his contract by Sheffield Wednesday. The Welsh international full-back was signed by Lawrie McMenemy as cover for Steve Mills, who had been injured in a car crash and was out of action for a lengthy period of time.

However, Rodrigues' second year at The Dell saw his playing days ended with a persistent knee injury. He later played for Romsey Town in the Hampshire League and coached several other local clubs.

In 1987, Rodrigues moved back to Wales to take over another pub and set up a soccer school in Tenby.

He later returned to Southampton to manage the Conservative Club, where he stayed for eight years until the death of his wife, Lynn. In 2002, Rodrigues moved to Alicante in Spain for a few years, but after remarrying (to Carol) he settled back in Southampton. The medal sold for £10,200 and was initially said to have been purchased by a mystery bidder, but it was subsequently announced that the medal had been purchased by Southampton Football Club.
