Peter Goring

Born in Bishop's Cleeve, Gloucestershire, one of six brothers, Goring first played for local Southern League side Cheltenham Town, making a name for himself as a prolific centre forward.After impressing on the club's tour of Brazil in the summer of 1949, Goring made his first-team debut against Chelsea on 24 August 1949, when Arsenal won 2–1.Goring continued to play up front for the Gunners, scoring 16 times the following season, but was displaced by Cliff Holton in 1951-52, and his form noticeably dropped.He missed only six matches over the next two seasons, and was picked for a Football Association XI that toured the West Indies in the summer of 1955.In the summer of 1959, Goring moved to Boston United, in a swap deal that took Alan Ashberry to Arsenal, before retiring from playing.
