Tommy Lee (footballer)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tommy Lee (born January 3, 1986 in Keighley) is an English football goalkeeper, currently playing for Macclesfield Town F.C..

Lee came to Manchester United as a junior player in 2002. In 2005, he helped United's reserve team win the quadruple. In the 2005-2006 season he was loaned to Macclesfield Town for what was originally going to be a month, extended until March 14.

Lee recently made his league debut away at Oxford United and has been called upon twice since then. Macclesfield boss Brian Horton told the Macclesfield Express: "Tommy has been excellent since joining us in January. I spoke to Tony Coton, United's goalkeeping coach, and Sir Alex Ferguson. Both were happy to extend Tommy's loan spell."

In August 2006, he signed a contract with Macclesfield Town, arriving on a free transfer from Manchester United.

On 6th January 2007, Lee kept goal for Macclesfield Town against English Champions Chelsea F.C. at Stamford Bridge. Despite suffering an injury to his arm on a save from Chelsea F.C. striker Salomon Kalou, he continued to keep until he was awarded a Red Card and subsequently sent off after a foul on Chelsea F.C. striker Andriy Shevchenko. This sending off reduced Macclesfield to 10 men and signalled the beginning of the 6-1 rout of Macclesfield by the Premiership Champions.
