Very tall, and rather gangly, Peter Clough could be a deceptively quick and bouncy fast-medium bowler. Because his action looked awkward, even ungainly, a tangle of arms and pumping legs, batsmen often underestimated the genuine threat his immaculate line and length posed. In 1978/79 he played for a Combined Universities team against the England touring team and struck the famous Geoff Boycott in the head with a bouncer.

His love of life made him a popular player. He had a ‘quickie’s’ streak of aggression likely to stir any opponent, but not always understood by umpires and officials. His team-mates called him ‘Wingnut’ (prominent ears) but for most of his time with Penrith he was simply ‘Goober’.
