Peter Marinello (born 20 February 1950) is a Scottish former football player. Marinello started his career at Hibernian, and could play either as a center forward or right winger. He was regarded as being talented enough there that he was dubbed "the next George Best" by the British press.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Peter Marinello speaks to BBC London 94.9 )〕 In January 1970 he joined Arsenal for £100,000 (a club record fee and the first time Arsenal had paid a six-figure sum for a player) and he scored on his debut, against Manchester United at Old Trafford on 10 January 1970. However after that his career quickly took a downturn, a combination of homesickness,〔 his celebrity lifestyle and heavy drinking〔 and a knee injury〔 led to a dip in form which meant he was left out of Arsenal's first team; he did not take part in Arsenal's Inter-Cities Fairs Cup triumph of 1970 and only played three matches in their 1970-71 Double-winning campaign.〔 Unable to break into the first team consistently in his Arsenal career, he only played eight league matches in 1971-72 and thirteen in 1972-73; he eventually left Arsenal in July 1973 for Portsmouth after failing to agree a new contract.〔 In total he played 51 matches for Arsenal, scoring five goals. He later played for Motherwell, Fulham, Phoenix Inferno, Heart of Midlothian and Partick Thistle. Though he retired a wealthy man,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Peter Marinello - Fallen Idle )〕 a failed business venture left him bankrupt in 1994.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Glamour long gone but Marinello keeps mellow )〕 He now lives in Bournemouth, Dorset. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Marinello」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
