Baker was born in West Runton, Norfolk.[1] He began his career at Norwich City in July 1977 appearing 14 times in his 7 years at the club. From Norwich he moved to Barnsley where he again played for seven years,[2] this time racking up 291 appearances and twice winning the club's Player of the Year award.[3] He was transferred to Coventry City in August 1991, and a year later, without having appeared for Coventry's Football League team, he moved to his final club, Ipswich Town.
