Playing career

Born in Nuneaton, Peake started his career at hometown club Nuneaton Borough, before joining Lincoln City. [3] [4] Peake was signed by Bobby Gould for Coventry City in 1983 for a fee of £100,000. [3] [5] He formed a central defence pairing with Brian Kilcline that would last for seven seasons. [5] In that time Peake was part of the Coventry team that beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–2 in the 1987 FA Cup Final. He played 277 games for the club, before joining Luton Town in 1991 for a fee of £100,000. [6] [4] He became captain at Luton as they were relegated to Division Two. His last game was in September 1997, making a substitute appearance against Wrexham and in the process, at 40 years 222 days, becoming the Hatters's oldest ever League player. [4]

Coaching career

Peake spent his final season at Luton Town helping coach the reserves before he was asked to return to Coventry City by Gordon Strachan in February 1998. He coached the under-19 side for a season before stepping up to reserve team coach. Coventry sacked their manager Roland Nilsson in April 2002 and appointed Peake, alongside Steve Ogrizovic, as caretaker managers for the club's final game of the season. [7] The club would lose the fixture, 1–0, away to Burnley.

He helped his former Coventry teammate Micky Adams with some scouting work at Leicester City, agreeing a full-time role with their academy in the summer of 2003. [8] Peake was placed in charge of the Under-17 side and as assistant academy director alongside academy director Jon Rudkin. He then took charge of the Under-18 side after Steve Beaglehole was moved up to take charge of the new Under-21 development squad. Peake retired from football in August 2020, and was awarded the Premier League Eamonn Dolan Award, for exceptional contribution to development within the academy environment. [6]

The 1987–88 season was the 103rd season in the history of Luton Town Football Club. It was Luton Town's 68th consecutive season in the Football League, and their 71st overall. It was also their sixth successive season in the First Division, and their 12th overall. The season is one of the club's most successful of all time, as Luton Town achieved a ninth-place finish in the league, won the Football League Cup, and reached the FA Cup semi-final and Full Members' Cup final. As League Cup winners, they would normally have qualified for the UEFA Cup, but were denied a first foray into European competition due to the ban on English clubs as a result of the 1985 Heysel disaster continuing for a fourth season.

The 1991–92 season was the 106th season in the history of Luton Town Football Club. It was Luton Town's 71st consecutive season in the Football League, and their 74th overall. It was also their tenth successive season in the First Division, and their 16th overall. Luton Town were relegated on the season's final day, and thus condemned to second-tier football for the following season. This deprived them of a place in the new FA Premier League.
