About Peter Stokes

Born 2000. Peter Stokes is a British squash player.

Peter D. Stokes (born 1940) is a Welsh former squash player. He was a World team silver medallist.

Biography Stokes was born in Cardiff to a military family, the son of Group Captain Donald Stokes and Dorothy Nicholas. He attended Rossall School but lived in various locations due to the military postings of his father.

Stokes studied at Cambridge and was captain of the Cambridge University squash team in 1961 and 1962 and earned his blue. He also joined the Royal Air Force and was a Flying Officer, while at Cambridge. His younger brother Michael (born 1946) was also a notable squash player and followed his brother into the RAF.

In November 1967 and now a flight Lieutenant, he won a fourth consecutive RAF Championship titles to set a record.

By 1970 he was a squadron leader in the RAF and continued to represent Wales at squash until 1977.
