Obituaries

Peter was the same age as me and our paths crossed many times during our time at Ealing, playing alongside each other in probably all the teams that Ealing put out at one time or another.  I ended up Captaining the Evergreens for whom Pete made many appearances often alongside his brother Dave. They made a right pair and used to egg each other on throughout the games we played and being Evergreens a bit of harmless skullduggery was often employed to gain an advantage!  Post-match he was always up for a beer and a sing-song (as was Dave).  He went on to Captain the Evergreens, (I retired at a very young age!), and I’m sure he brought his enthusiasm and love of the game to that role.  A sad loss and far too young, he’ll be missed.  Condolences to Dave and all the Green family.

Paul, I read with great sadness the news of Pete Green’s passing.

I played alongside Pete for many years. He was a constant in my 2nd XV, a great tourist, average poker player and genuinely nice guy.

He will be missed and my thoughts are with his family as they grieve his loss but hopefully celebrate the memories.

Please pass on my sincere condolences to David and rest of Peter’s family – very sad to hear about Peter’s passing. He was a regular as a trusty No.8 in my time at Ealing in the early 80’s – very sad news.

Kind regards

Peter sadly passed away on Saturday 27^th March aged 68, after a long illness.

Peter joined Ealing Rugby club in the late 1970s playing No 8 for the senior sides for many years. He was a keen tourist and went on several tours including Lourdes and the USA. He then joined the Evergreens for a few more years and was Evergreens Captain for a season. As a non-playing member, he persuaded his company Redhat to sponsor the professional club and then privately sponsored the amateur club on his retirement.

I, and the family, will be holding a wake for Peter at the club later this year.
