Brian Peake (born 4 December 1952) is a former Australian rules footballer who played for the East Fremantle Football Club and the Geelong Football Club.
[edit] WAFL career
A half-forward flanker, Peake had a long career with East Fremantle where he made his debut in 1972, winning a Sandover Medal and captaining the All-Australian side.
[edit] VFL career
Peake was introduced to the Geelong Football Club in 1981. Amidst much hype he was flown to Kardinia Park by helicopter for training and in 1982 was promoted to team captain after just 13 senior games (although he gave up this position a year later). Widely regarded as one of the most in-form players in the country at the time, Peake was paid $1,000 a game (high by 1980s standards). After the 1984 season, Peake returned to Western Australia.
Peake is the father of Fremantle Dockers player, Brett Peake.
