Lee is one of the most respected defenders in Premiership history and who played more than 600 games with Arsenal.

 

Lee began his career at Burnley before spells at Chester, Bury and Stoke. His big break was being signed in January 1988 by George Graham, who paid £350,000 to bring Lee to Highbury.

 

Lee made his England international debut in April 1990 in a World Cup warm-up game against Czechoslovakia. He went on to win another 21 caps but injury and misfortune meant he failed to play in a major championship.

 

But any international disappointment was replaced by domestic joy. Over 14 years he won four league titles, three FA Cups and a European Cup Winners' Cup.

 

Lee joined the BBC in August 2004, appearing as a pundit on BBCi’s Score and a regular guest on Match Of The Day, Football Focus and Match Of The Day 2.
