As a youngster, Lambert was briefly connected to Derby County as an amateur, but never played for the Rams at first-team level. He joined Mansfield from non-league neighbours Sutton Town in October 1954, and rejoined Sutton when he left the Stags in 1960. After his retirement from professional football, he worked as a window cleaner in Ashfield.[1]

He died in December 2007, aged 71.[2]
