Remembered as a ferocious tackler and originally from
Canowindra, New South Wales, Peter Fitzgerald came to
St George Dragons as an 18-year-old in 1969 on the recommendation of
Ian Walsh. He gave great service to
St George Dragons in the seven seasons that he played for them between 1969–1975, which included his appearance in two (losing) Grand Finals of
1971 and
1975, and many semi final appearances. After the Grand Final defeat in 1975, Peter Fitzgerald moved to
Sydney Roosters for one year in 1976 and re-united with his former coach
Jack Gibson. Fitzgerald finished his career at
Port Kembla where he captained the team to win the 1980 Wollongong premiership under the coaching of his old friend and ex team-mate,
Graeme Langlands. Peter Fitzgerald has been in the real-estate business in Wollongong for many years and still resides there. ==References==
