Eric Peter Gilbert (born 31 July 1983), known as Peter Gilbert, is a Welsh footballer who plays as a defender. He has played in the Football League for Plymouth Argyle, Leicester City, Sheffield Wednesday, Doncaster Rovers, Oldham Athletic, Northampton Town and Southend United. He represented Wales at under-21 level.
Gilbert began his career at Birmingham City as a trainee but failed to make a first team appearance. He did captain the academy side during his time with the Blues and made many appearances for the reserves. His progress was hampered by a serious knee injury. Once he recovered the decision was made to make a fresh start at another club. He joined Plymouth Argyle at the beginning of the 2003–04 season on loan, where his performances earned him a permanent move. Once he signed, Gilbert soon proved himself to be a reliable and steady player and was a mainstay of Argyle's Second Division championship-winning side, playing 40 league games and scoring one goal against Tranmere Rovers. His only other goal for Plymouth came three days after his goal against Tranmere in a Football League Trophy tie against Bristol City.
This run of form led him to be called up to the Welsh under-21 squad and receiving his first cap. He went on to make 10 appearances in the 2006 UEFA Under-21 Championship qualifying campaign. During this campaign he impressed head coach John Toshack enough to consider him for the senior squad, and was a member of Toshack's senior squad for a six-day training camp in Spain at the end of the 2004–05 season.
