helping the young players. Swan rejected this offer and signed for Bury after a move to Chesterfield broke down. Swan scored on his debut for Bury against Torquay United after just three minutes after playing over 300 matches for Sheffield Wednesday and never finding the net. He captained Bury for the 1973–74 season and led them to promotion to Division Three. He left Bury after only being offered a month-to-month contract for 1974–75, and at the age of 37 he ended his professional playing career. Management Swan turned his hand to management in the summer of 1974 when he took charge of non-league Matlock Town. His first season at the helm was a great success, with Matlock getting past the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup for only the second time in the club's history. Better still, Matlock reached the final of the 1975 FA Trophy and faced Scarborough at Wembley Stadium. Despite being the underdogs Matlock went on to win the match by a convincing 4–0 margin. Swan resigned at the end of his second season in charge hoping to find a full-time management position elsewhere. He eventually returned as manager in November 1980, with his second spell at the club lasting just over a year after a poor run of results. Swan also had spells as manager at Worksop Town and Buxton. His son Carl who played league football for Doncaster Rovers and Rochdale in the late 1970s also played when his father was in charge at Matlock and Worksop. Later life and death After continuing to run a public house in Chesterfield for a time, he retired. He released a biographical book in September 2006 called "Setting The Record Straight" written in conjunction with Nick Johnson (). Peter Swan's son Gary died of stomach cancer aged 39 in 1998. Swan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in the mid-2000s. He died on 20 January 2021, aged 84.
