Lance William Key (born 13 May 1968) is an English former footballer and manager, who played as a goalkeeper.
Born in Kettering, Northamptonshire, Key began his professional career in April 1990 when he joined Sheffield Wednesday from non-league Histon for a fee of £10,000.
At Tannadice, Key was understudy to regular keeper Ally Maxwell and made his debut on 2 November 1996 in a 3–1 win away to Motherwell.
He played twice more later that month, and after a horrendous error against Dunfermline Athletic returned to England in March 1997 without making any further first team appearances, joining Sheffield United on a free transfer.
He moved to Kingstonian in June 2001 and rejoined Histon in September 2004,[2] where he helped the team to Southern League and Conference South championships.
