Sadly passed away RIP young man

This is of course really sad news.

He came to Port Vale as a fresh-faced 20 year old loanee. Vale were hopeless back then and Lee immediately stood out as one of the better players. "He won't stick around", everyone said. But he signed permanently and stayed for three years. He started as a fullback, graduated to centre half, and even chipped in with the very occasional goal. He was popular on and off the field. When he chose to move on there was a sense that he was destined for bigger and better things, though in fact he spent his career in the lower leagues.

He seemed a nice man, and he was certainly a decent footballer.

Yes, very sad news - I recall watching him play for FGR a few times and he was a real winner. Another footballing legend, admittedly a lower league one in Lee, has left us too soon. RIP.

A Newport lad too, very sad news.
RIP Lee.

It seems that lee took his own life! the coroners inquest gave a verdict of suicide by hanging very sad that this should happen to anyone and even sadder that lee was one of our own.

Tragic thoughts with his family

Yes Very sad, particularly when the lad apparently took his own life
Rest in Peace, Lee, Our sympathy goes to his family and relatives. Bob Bassett
