John Anthony Lee (26 November 1947 – 12 February 2023) was an English footballer who played on the right wing in the Football League for Bradford City and Darlington.[1] He played for Stockton as a youngster,[2] was on the books of Leicester City and Hartlepool United without appearing in the league for either, and also played non-league football for Stockton, South Shields,[1] and Goole Town.[3]
After his playing career ended, he went into management at the non-league level, with clubs including Whitby Town,[4] Billingham Synthonia,[5] Gateshead[6][7][8] (two spells), South Bank, Bishop Auckland[9][10][11] (two spells), Spennymoor United[10][12] (three spells), Newcastle Blue Star,[7] Celtic Nation,[13] and Billingham Town.[14]
He also acted as a scout for Darlington when his son Graeme Lee, himself a former league footballer, was their manager.[15]
Tony died on 12 February 2023 due to illness.[16]
Tommy Cassidy, the former Northern Ireland midfield player, yesterday resigned as manager of Gateshead, the GM Vauxhall Conference club. He had been in charge for two years.
