Harris was an outside right, and he played a crucial role in Pompey's Football league title-winning sides of 1948–49 and 1949–50.[1]
He made 479 Football League appearances for Portsmouth, scoring 193 goals.[2]
Only the competition from Stanley Matthews and Tom Finney, in an era before substitutions were introduced to the game, prevented Peter earning more than two caps for the England national football team. He made England debut against Ireland in a 2–0 defeat in September 1949.

gollark: I think other players can get the sword too, but this sort of thing is ridiculous.
gollark: This code seems to be putting some sword or other into the inventory of a player given as argument, if they are "ACheatyBastardOfCheatBastardness", and runs on player login.
