Lee Peacock (born 9 October 1976) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for Swindon Town F.C.. He was an integral part of the 2004-2005 play-off winning Sheffield Wednesday side.Previously he played for Carlisle United, Mansfield Town, Manchester City and Bristol City before joining the Owls in 2004.

While Peacock may have lacked that extra bit of quality in The Championship, his work-rate, commitment and attitude could never be questioned. In December 2005 however he was told by manager Paul Sturrock that his contract would not be renewed at the end of the 2005/06 season.

Having settled his contract at Sheffield Wednesday, Swindon Town manager Iffy Onuora persuaded Peacock to sign a two-and-a-half year deal at Swindon in January 2006, after he had turned down a strong approach from Walsall as he wanted to move down south for family reasons. Peacock made his debut as a goalscoring substitute - coming on with fifteen minutes to go in a home match with Bournemouth on January 21, he scored a last minute goal that wrapped the game up for the Town at 4-2.

Despite only scoring one more goal during the rest of the campaign, his honest, hard-working attitude made him a firm favourite with the Town fans almost immediately. Despite a knee injury picked up at Colchester in mid-March, he attempted to play through the pain barrier - until hobbling off just before half-time at Swansea on April 11. By now, it was obvious that Peacock needed surgery, but he decided to take a role described by Onuora as "super sub" - making two further cameo appearances in the following two matches. When the Town's relegation to League Two was confirmed, Peacock was rested before going under the knife during the close season.

Peacock went under the knife at the end of Swindon relegation season but returned successfully and was the Town's top goalscorer by October, before being switched to a midfield role. On April 24th 2007, Peacock was named the PFA's Fans' Player of the Year in League Two. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/low/football/6589307.stm]
