Goalkeeper Peter Shepherd made a solitary league appearance for Exeter City in 1983 when deputising for Len Bond. 

Joining Exeter City on non-contract forms in August 1982, Peter had formerly been a junior with Plymouth Argyle. His sole league match for the Grecians, as deputy for the otherwise ever-present Len Bond, came in the 2-1 home win over Bradford City in March 1983.

He had previously featured in one of City's earliest fixtures in the Football League Trophy at Newport County in August 1982 when he played alongside fellow City youngsters Martin Longden and Perry Walters.  

Released at the end of the 1982/83 season, Peter signed for Barnstaple Town and later appeared for Ottery St Mary.
