Management Career
His wait to become manager was not long, his final game coming against Gillingham on 17 January 1981 which Haslam was too ill to attend. Peters retired to take up the manager's job the following day with United twelfth in the table with sixteen games to play. Winning just three of the remaining games, United were relegated to the Fourth Division and Peters resigned. On his retirement from professional football in January 1981, after a distinguished and injury-free career, he had made 882 appearances in total, scoring 220 goals. After Peters quit Sheffield United he spent the 1982–83 season playing in defence for Gorleston in the Eastern Counties League.

“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
