Biographical Text
Brother of William who appeared in the 1947/48 season, Peadar (Peter) Fallon played for Exeter City between 1947 and 1952 having joined the club after serving in the RAF. He later made a single league appearance for QPR.
He had played for Exeter City reserves towards the end of the 1946/47 season prior to signing a contract on leaving the RAF in June 1947 having been recommended by City player Jack Blood, a former forces' colleague.
After spending most of 1947/48 in the reserves Peter eventually made his league debut at Port Vale in April 1948 although it wasn't until 1949/50 that he started to establish himself in the team. Featuring regularly in 1950/51 - when he was part of the side that reached the 4th round of the FA Cup only to lose to Liverpool at Anfield - his appearances dropped away thereafter and he was released at the end of 1952/53 to join Queens Park Rangers for whom he made a solitary league appearance.
He also appeared for City in the FA Cup 4th round replay at Chelsea in January 1951.
