Peter Goldfield obituary online

At last The Guardian has got round to printing Eamonn McCabe’s obituary for Peter Goldfield, who died on 9 February -- it’s in today’s issue. It’s arguably a little matter-of-fact but, to be fair, it does occupy ¾ of a page, so fair dos. Better late than never. You can read it online by clicking here.
