Swanny - Confessions of a Lower League Legend

Peter Swan played in over 500 games and worked for some of the biggest names in football, including Howard Wilkinson, Neil Warnock, Billy Bremner and Peter Shilton. Equally at home as a centre-forward or centre-half, Swan signed for Leeds United in 1984 and broke transfer records at two of his next three clubs, Hull City, Port Vale and Plymouth Argyle. He played at Wembley twice, but never made it into the top flight. With a reputation as a hard player who lived a hard life, Swan's football days were littered with bizarre twists and turns. This is the incredible story of a journeyman pro playing just below the big time and the big money.

Peter Swan played in over 500 games for seven clubs during his football career. He retired in 2000 and now writes a twice-weekly column for the Hull Daily Mail and covers Hull City's matches for BBC Radio Humberside. He lives in West Yorkshire with his wife and two sons. Andrew Collomosse worked on the sports desk of three national newspapers in Manchester between 1974 and 1989 before becoming a freelance sport writer. He has written six books.
