Peter Ndlovu
Encyclopedia
Peter Ndlovu is a Zimbabwe
an footballer, who plays as a striker.
, prior to his official signing from Highlanders by Terry Butcher
in July 1991. He made an immediate impact by scoring away at Arsenal and then became the toast of Highfield Road with a thunderbolt winner against Aston Villa in November 1991, endearing him to the Sky Blues fans.
Although he would go on to play a major role at several clubs in the second tier, his time at Coventry will always stand out due to its top flight status. He would play a significant role in two major teams, Bobby Gould's attacking team of the early 90s and Ron Atkinson-Gordon Strachan's expansive squad of the mid-late 1990s.
in November 1992 they continued what had already been a blistering start, with away wins at Tottenham Hotspur (2-0) Sheffield Wednesday (2-1) and Wimbledon (2-1) to add to already impressive home wins against Middlesbrough
(2-1). By the early autumn the Sky Blues briefly topped the inaugural Premier league and would only lose five league games prior to Christmas. The addition of Micky Quinn to the squad led to further outstanding home wins against Aston Villa (3-0) and Liverpool
(5-1). They would eventually go to Championship contenders Blackburn Rovers and leave with a (5-2) victory in February 1993. However, a barren March/April programme and a run in that would see back to back games against Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Leeds Utd saw them slip from 5th in the league in February to 15th by the end of May. A league position secured with a thrilling performance from Ndlovu in a last day 3-3 draw against Leeds Utd. Ndlovu was a key component throughout the season in Gould's fast pacey front line which included John Williams
, Kevin Gallacher
(until his departure to Blackburn) and Robert Rosario
, who formed a worthy partnership with Micky Quinn. Peter Ndlovu's goal against Norwich City, in a 1-1 draw in late September, was a signature piece of Ndlovu flare which earned him the Match of Day 'Goal of the month' competition.
lead the Gunners defence a merry dance-Wegerle in particular enjoying possibly his finest game for the club. So shocked were Arsenal by the 3-0 defeat that manager George Graham
cancelled the proposed post-match lap of honour at the final whistle, which was to parade their Coca Cola and FA Cup silverware. The explanation given by Arsenal was 'Reasons beyond the club's control!'. It is thought the Sky Blues turned down a then-massive £4 million offer from Arsenal
at the end of the same 1994 season for Ndlovu's services. The dramatic resignation of Bobby Gould, after a 5-1 mauling at Loftus Road in October 1993, was reputedly inspired by the possible imminent sale of Ndlovu to a top six club.
. Big Ron saved the club from relegation in the spring of 1995 whilst also bringing in Gordon Strachan as his player-coach No.2.
This second significant phase for Ndlovu would once again promise much; the 'new era' of big money signings heralded by Atkinson's appointment saw the arrival of Huckerby, Whelan, Salako and McAllister together with earlier signing Dion Dublin. Big Ron provided vital impetus in the spring of 95, but the following season his stylish and classy team sheet rarely 'clicked' in the traditional sense. However, Ndlovu scored some memorable goals for the Sky Blues during this period, including the first away player to secure a hatrick at Anfield for 30 years. Other memorable goals in Sky Blue included a vital winning goal away at Wimbledon in a relegation six-pointer and a dynamic last minute rifling winner in a 3rd Round FA Cup tie at West Bromwich Albion.
Ndlovu gradually suffered due to inconsistency. The large and expansive side Gordon Strachan inherited, well equipped with attacking options, saw fierce competition for places from Whelan, Huckerby, Salako and Telfer. An increasingly cosmopolitan Premier league too would eventually see Coventry turn to Steve Froggatt and Moroccan internationals Mustapha Hadji
and Youssef Chippo
in the years following Ndlovu's departure. However, if a 'Best Of' goals compilation were ever undertaken by Coventry City, focusing on their top flight era, then Peter Ndlovu's name would figure prominently. He was known as 'Nuddy' by the die-hard Coventry City fans in Highfield Road's 'West End' and as 'The 'Bulawayo Bullet' by the media of the day. A likeable and mischievous character off the pitch, Peter Ndlovu is well placed in the top flight Coventry City goalscorers table with a return of 41 goals. The 'Gould-Neal' and 'Atkinson-Strachan' tenures in the Premiership remain some of Coventry City's most exciting-and indeed frustrating-spells in top flight football.
in July 1997, signed by Trevor Francis for a fee of £1.6m. Ndlovu is generally considered a success by Blues fans, despite failing to reach the Premiership whilst "Nuddy" was in their ranks. Ndlovu's old-school wing play helped propel the Blues to two successive play off appearances in Nationwide Division One, though both appearances would ultimately end in semi-final defeats. After spending time on loan for Huddersfield Town
in 2000, he moved to Sheffield United
in February 2001.
He scored the winning goal against Leeds United
in the 2002 Worthington Cup
competition and scored a hat-trick against Cardiff City
in 2003-04. He left the Blades in the summer of 2004 having scored 25 goals in 135 league games. In all, Ndlovu scored more than 90 goals (many memorable) during his 12 seasons and 338 appearances in the top two flights of the English football league.

He stayed for two years without playing football. Ndlovu came back to Zimbabwe from South Africa in 2010 and is currently staying in Harare. Ndlovu broke the people of Bulawayo's hearts when he wanted to sign for Dynamos for the 2011 season, but the deal was called off by Ndlovu's Manager he is currently playing for Zimbabwean's first division side highfield united but he was loaned to Zimbabwe's premier team side Black Mambas where his brother madinda is coaching. To be honest Ndlovu is preparing to become a coach soon or later he might become the coach of the Zimbabwe National Team the warriors. He is a good friend of former Zimbabwe coach Sunday Chidzambwa Marimo and former defender Kaitano Tembo. Back home in Zimbabwe Ndlovu is loved by many people when it comes to soccer Ndlovu is the role model to many Zimbabweans. He is also a business man even though he doesn't want to show it like what other players do Ndlovu is rich.
Peter Ndlovu provided the funding for the senior national team's stay in DRC when they were preparing for the game in Kinshasha, and also helped them in Burkina Faso when he scored two brilliant goals.During the 2004 Africa cup nations Ndlovu scored three brilliant goals. Ndlovu is well remembered in South Africa were he helped Zim to overpower South Africa, in South Africa's first international game after Apartheid which ended 4-1 with Ndlovu his brother Adam, the standout players. He also scored a hatrick in Swaziland as King Mswati and his Queens where busy watching Ndlovu's magic.Out of all the players who played for the Zim National Team Ndlovu is being regarded as the best alongside Norman Mapeza and bruce Grobelaar. an injury spell around 1995 to 2000 so him operating at reduced efficiency level after which he returned with recharged batteries in the new millennium. His mature displays assured Zimbabwe of qualification to the Nations cup with a brace in the final qualifying game including a cheeky lob over the goalkeeper. this particular match was as tense as final games go but Ndlovu's maturity in front of goal saved the day. Peter also featured for Zimbabwe in a defeat to South Africa in which 13 people died in Harare in a stampede. His best goals for the National team are arguably the one against Egypt in Harare in 1993 and against Angola around the same time at the National Sports Stadium in Harare. Both goals where from passes in the deep, and a thunderbolt take off in pace which shocked defenders among them legendary Hani Ramzy of Egypt who is now national team coach. Peter came into international recognition as an Under 23 player ironically at the All Africa games in Egypt where he competed with Africa's best while teaming up with Zimbabwe's golden Under 23 generation only the second to qualify for All Africa games. the next would be in 1995 at home.[Back home some people have tried to compare him with the best players emerge from Zimbabwean soccer, the likes of Moses Chunga, Benjani Mwaruwaru, Norman Mapeza, George Shaya, etc. this is debatable for players who played in different positions and some of these players combined very well with Peter, especially Moses Chunga in a 4-0 win against Malawi in the early 90s and Norman Mapeza making his debut at right-back against Zambia and in different positions since then

, where they grew up. Peter also played in both his primary and secondary schools and his hometown team Highlanders
before joining Coventry in 1991
. In 1997 Peter got married to Sharon Dee a South African singer, they broke up in 2003 after Ndlovu came from England where he stayed for a long time. They have two kids the other one is called Benjamin given the name of his late best friend Benjamin Konjera.
His surname is commonly mispronounced by British commentators and, as a result, fans as well. Throughout his career, he was referred to as 'Und-luv', when in fact, the pronunciation of his surname is closer to 'End-lo-vu'.

1993/94
The 1993/94 season would see a managerial shift in the autumn as Phil Neal, Bobby Gould's No.2, took over the reins from his passionate Coventry born boss but not before the legendary curtain raiser to the 93-94 season. Bobby Gould's first day gamble would be to play without traditional full backs. This novel formation gave Peter Ndlovu full licence to play a large part in a memorable opening day triumph in the capital. The 3-0 victory on a sunny 14 August, against double-cup winners Arsenal, saw Micky Quinn score a hat-trick in front of the newly refurbished North Bank. It also ensured that the Sky Blues made one of their customary lightning starts to the season, so synonymous of the early 1990s. After an early Ian Wright threat on the Coventry goal, it was Ndlovu who made a darting run into the Arsenal penalty box which produced a clumsy challenge from Lee Dixon. The resulting penalty was calmly converted by Micky Quinn for the opener. The second half would see Ndlovu and Roy WegerleRoy Wegerle
