Peter Diversi retired from Sydney football and finished his career at Kurri Kurri, in the Newcastle competition.
Diversi married the sister of fellow North Sydney Bears player Kevin Price. Kevin's son Ray Price followed in his uncle's footsteps, becoming one of the great locks in the history of the game during the 1970s and '80s.
