steelcityowlsfan 4,705 Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 I’d love to hear from those older fans that saw him play? He was considered up there with Jackie Charlton and Moore for England recognition. My Dad said he was a good player. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

In his day, truly world class. RIP Peter Swan. 5 3 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post scram 21,923 Posted January 21 Popular Post Share Posted January 21 Saw him play in his second stint but too young and starry eyed to be able to judge him as a player At that age all the Wednesday players were idols to me RIP Peter 12 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Left back 6 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I was at his comeback game in about 73/74? I think it was that game where he executed a perfect slide tackle that took up a neat roll of turf, then put it back in place to a great cheer. He was a very elegant footballer for a centre half of that era. His book is a good insight into his take on his story. 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Oliver Cromwell 253 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Was a superb defender, way better than any of his contemporaries and would have been priceless in today's market 3 Link to post Share on other sites
matthefish2002 12,944 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 This is sad news. Before my time but an all time great Wednesday player. Recommend his autobiography. RIP. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Jackie Sewell 397 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Fantastic centre half, part of that great side of 60/61. Wonderful half back line of MacAnearny,Swan Kay. Brilliant in the air, long giraffe legs, hard as nails. RIP Peter Swan. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites
