QUICK FACTS (via Freebase)
Peter Nicholas (born 10 November, 1959) is a Welsh former professional footballer and Wales international, now football manager.
Nicholas was born in Newport, but his first professional club was Crystal Palace, with whom he began in 1976 as a youth player. He spent five seasons at Selhurst Park, and played over 150 matches for the Eagles, picking up the Second Division title up in 1978-79. In the meantime he had made his debut for Wales, and would go on to win 73 caps for his country, scoring 2 goals. Originally a centre half, he later was moved forward into midfield and became known as a tough-tackling and uncompromising defensive midfielder.
However, despite his best efforts the Eagles could not sustain their place in the top flight and Nicholas was sold to Arsenal in March 1981 for £500,000, shortly before Palace's relegation back to the Second Division. At Arsenal, Nicholas went straight into the first team and didn't finish on a losing side for the rest of the 1980-81 season....... (Read more on Wikipedia)
