A remembrance even was held by the Celtic Graves Society, who marked the day with a headstone to replace the blank space to give Peter the respect he deserves.

Pre-2014
Peter Dowds lies in an unmarked grave in Abbey Cemetery, Elderslie.

“To the present generation Peter Dowds is not even a name, but to old-timers he was the greatest-ever, at home in any and every position, the equal of a Doyle or Kelly in defence, of Madden on the right, Campbell on the left, Cassidy at centre . . . ” – Willie Maley

His grave is only a short distance away from fellow Johnstone Celt, Peter Scarff.
