Peter Bircumshaw (born 29 August 1938 in Mansfield) is a former footballer who played as a left winger in the Football League for Notts County, Bradford City and Stockport County.[1]

Bircumshaw started his professional career with Notts County, where he scored 40 goals in 72 league games[1] before he moved to Bradford City in 1962. He spent just one season at Valley Parade, but he finished as the club's joint top goal-scorer with seven league goals and four in the FA Cup, including a hat-trick in a 5–2 win over Oldham Athletic.[2] He joined Stockport County before he moved into non-league football with Cambridge City.[1]
