Honours

England International.

With Arsenal: 1st Division Champion 1989, 1991, FA Cup winner 1993, European Cup Winners' Cup winner 1994 and runner-up 1995.

Learning his trade in the relatively unfashionable background of Burnley, Chester City, Bury and Stoke City, Lee truly dispelled any theories of being a journeyman defender in 14 glorious years at Highbury.

In 621 games for Arsenal, the thoroughly reliable right-back gained a vast array of honours - four league titles, two FA Cup winners medals as well as the 1994 European Cup Winners Cup success and 22 England caps.

The consummate professional, his efficient defending was the basis of his intelligent use of the ball further forward.
