  ## Career
  
  Born in Orpington, Lake began his career as a trainee with West Ham United, although he failed to make a first-team appearance for the club. He joined Colchester United and made his only appearance as a professional player in a 3–1 League Cup defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage on 18 August 1987. Lake was injured after 32 minutes, being replaced by midfielder John Reeves and forcing defender Tony English to take Lake's place in goal. Lake had kept a clean sheet until his injury forced him off the field. Following his injury, he was forced to retire from professional football on medical advice, later playing for local non-league club Stanway Rovers.
