Born in Amsterdam, Peeper began his career with the youth teams of local AFC Ajax. His professional career began in the 1985–86 season with HFC Haarlem, and finished 15 years later, as he also represented in his country FC Twente, Sparta Rotterdam and FC Groningen.
During four seasons abroad, Peeper met diverse fates: four solid years in the Belgian First Division with K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen, where he also netted more than 20 overall goals, and one unassuming year with lowly Wuppertaler SV, in Germany, where he called it quits at almost 35.
Peeper made one international appearance for the Netherlands, playing in a 28 March 1990 friendly with the Soviet Union, in Kiev.[2] His match lasted 18 minutes, as he was stretchered off after being injured by Sergei Gorlukovich.[1][3]
Peeper is one quarter Jewish.[3]
