A native of Coventry, Rossborough attended King Henry VIII School and played rugby for his school.
He played club rugby for Coventry R.F.C. during the 1970s. Rossborough made his international debut aged 22 on 16 January 1971 at Cardiff Arms Park in the Wales vs England match. Of the 7 matches he played for his national side he was on the winning side on 2 occasions.
He played his final match for England on 1 February 1975 at Twickenham in the England vs France match.
As a Rugby sevens player, Peter had much success. After his career in full time Rugby, Peter went into teaching.
His most notable teaching post was at a school in the very town where Rugby was invented. Ashlawn School had only just been opened under this name and Rossborough took over as headmaster not long after.
Over time, Peter managed to turn the school around, so that today, it is one of the leading schools in the country.
Having spent around 24 years as headmaster, Peter decided to step down in 2008 and handed the leadership baton over to the current head, Mrs Lois Reed. He now spends time helping the school behind the scenes in his spare time. After he retired from teaching, Peter went on to become the President of Coventry Reconstruction Finance Corporation.
