FA Cup winner 1987
Trevor Peake was one of football’s late developers, not joining a League club until he moved to Lincoln City from Nuneaton Borough at the age of 22. Peake had been an outstanding player in non-league football and played for England at semi-professional level. After four good years at Sincil Bank, he was signed by Bobby Gould for £100,000 in the traumatic summer of 1983. He settled into the top flight with ease having excellent timing, a superb temperament and classy skill. After a season playing alongside Sam Allardyce, Peake teamed up with Brian Kilcline to form a defensive partnership that was to serve City so well for almost seven seasons. Peake skippered the side in his first two seasons but lost the captaincy after a disagreement with Don Mackay in the summer of 1985. He gave an outstanding display in the 1987 FA Cup final when, after allowing the prolific Clive Allen to score in the early minutes, he recovered to mark the Spurs star out of the game. The following season he was selected for the England ‘B’ squad but injury kept him out and his international chance never came again. In 1988 he was promoted to a coaching position by John Sillett but left the club in 1991 after a bust-up with Terry Butcher. He had four successful years playing at Luton and then moved into coaching. He rejoined City as youth team coach in 1997 and was a key member of Gordon Strachan’s back-room team. In 2002 after the sudden departure of Roland Nilsson he was joint caretaker manager with Steve Ogrizovic. He left City in 2004 and joined Leicester City where he has became youth team coach.
