Bruce Lake (born 9 June 1948) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon and Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).[1]
Lake, who came from Metung, made his league debut in the fifth round of the 1968 VFL season.[2] Four rounds later he would be joined in the side by his younger brother Eddie.[2]
Although primarily a forward, Lake was also used as a ruckman and was Essendon's 19th man in the 1968 VFL Grand Final.[2]
He switched to Footscray in 1971 but played just two games and finished the season at Waverley in the Victorian Football Association.[3]
