Brief footage of former Wolves forward Peter Knowles, including an interview conducted around the time Knowles quit football to become a Jehovah's Witness - his final match being against Nottingham Forest at Molineux on 6th September 1969.

Revered by Wolves fans for his outstanding talent, the charismatic Knowles made 191 appearances and scored 64 goals for Wolves during his near-six year career and was considered on the verge of an England breakthrough when he walked away from the game aged just 24.

By his own admission, however, Knowles was also petulant, unpredictable and often arrogant on the pitch and such character traits are briefly highlighted in the footage but also incidents such as kicking the ball out of the ground after scoring at Portsmouth (   • Portsmouth v Wolves, 25th February 1967  . Knowles was uneasy with the idolatry bestowed upon him by Wolves fans and came to resent the game for producing what he considered his "bad attitude towards people."

With his faith in football in question, a chance call at his Wolverhampton home by a Jehovah's Witness resulted in Knowles discovering faith outside the game and ultimately the peace and contentment that he firmly believed could not be found as a professional footballer.
