Biography

Lee Turnbull (born 27 September 1967 in Stockton-on-Tees, England) is an English former footballer who could play in either midfield or attack.

Lee started his career as an apprentice at his hometown club Middlesbrough F.C., playing a part in the club's comeback from liquidation in 1986.

Lee left Middlesbrough F.C. for Aston Villa F.C. where he was one of Graham Taylor first signings for the club. He left Villa without making a single first team appearance but went on to play for various lower league teams including spells at Doncaster Rovers and Chesterfield.

Lee was assistant manager at Barrow A.F.C. and took over from Kenny Lowe as manager in April 2003, before being sacked in November 2005. He has since been assistant manager at Southport, chief scout at Sheffield United and head of recruitment at Oldham Athletic.
