West Ham Online

"Bangladesh women's team... subsequent to stints managing Botswana and Liberia. Sounds like an interesting career. And based on a post on his Twitter account I presume he's a recovering alcoholic. Football seemed to do that when he was playing Good on the bloke, hope he's a success there. https://x.com/wfootball_bd/status/1777559913755279361"

"Heard an interview with a few years back, he's done loads in football. Interesting bloke and a great player for us back in the day I thought."

"I really liked Peter Butler, he was like a Staffie protecting its owner the way he played for the team."

"Cheers Faux, I suppose it would have difficult with Allen, Bishop and Moncur ahead of him in the CM places"

I think I read in Tony Gales autobiography that Butler took over his weekly column in the Newham recorder after he had been reprimanded for being to candid.

"Had to look at westhamstats He played a handful of games in Aug/Sep then was sold to Notts County in Oct 1994 for £350,000 which is double what we paid for him From what I can see we had bought Moncur that summer so presume he was on the outer"

"Proper West Ham player, always 100% committed. I remember reading a post-match report stating that Vinny Jones was complaining about his tackles to the referee! Sadly, I can’t seem to recall much about his departure, did he play much in our first season in the premier league?"

"Lee Trundle 12:03 Wed Apr 10 Yes, of course. I'd forgotten. Brain increasingly addled."

A Yorkshireman and central midfielder who embraced the club and it's fans and never let anyone down on the pitch. Now there's a thing

Coffee 11:11 Wed Apr 10 It would have been called the First Division back then.

"J.Riddle 3:42 Wed Apr 10 Re: Peter Butler - appointed national team coach of... What's Blakey had to say about this? I 'ate you, Butler."

"Loved him as a player. At their best, him and Robson and Keen were pure magic as we romped to the title. Such a pity that none of them really went much further than that special season in League Division 2 (or had it become the Championship by then?)"

What's Blakey had to say about this?

"Met him a couple of times in the 1990s when he was on a part-time Management Course at Havering College whilst still at West Ham. Seemed a decent bloke and smarter than many. As a player he was reliable rather than spectacular. Certainly, he went on to have an interesting career in coaching."

"Butler has been globetrotting as a coach for many years, decades, now. OK not made the big bucks, but has stayed in football and no doubt has a few stories etc. Fair play."

I seem to remember Ferenc Puskas complimenting Peter Butler when he came for a visit. I was surprised he moved on so quickly.

Great lad is Butts'... twas a regular at the Bell House in Eastwood... sorted us out a load of old West Ham training kit... top man... real good mates with my cousin

Probably in his favour that he is married to a MOOSE Cant hurt

Lampard in line for the Canada job apparently (men's)

"Butler was a good player, very underrated. Good Luck Pete!"

"Was a good player in the few years he played for us, got him very cheaply too IIRC"
