In March 1990, Peter got a job with BBC Radio Leeds and he was there at a time when Leeds were champions of the Football League First Division in the 1991–92 season. His early works with Radio Leeds included matches involving Halifax Town, Bradford City and Huddersfield Town. He also commentated on both legs of Leeds United's UEFA Champions League first round tie with VfB Stuttgart in September 1992, in which after coming back from a 3-0 first-leg deficit to win 4-1, he remarked that their fans were 'proud as punch' of Howard Wilkinson's team and joked about them being eliminated, but it went into a play-off which they won 2-1 on 9 October. He soon moved to Five Live following its launch in 1994. His credits include the 1996 UEFA Champions League Final (alongside future ITV colleague Jon Champion) and UEFA Euro 96, where he covered Group D matches involving Portugal and Turkey. In 1997, he also commentated on The Open Championship and the Ryder Cup with 5 Live.
