My father, Peter Rhodes, who has died aged 86, had a successful career in sales and advertising working for national newspapers, independent television and finally for Golf World magazine. As an accomplished sportsman, this was his dream job, enabling him to travel the world visiting the finest golf courses and resorts.
Peter also played tennis, including at Wimbledon during the 1957 Inter-Services tournament while serving in the RAF, and cricket, but football was his main love. In 1962 he played as goalkeeper for Hounslow Town in the amateur cup final at Wembley.
