Colin Lee

[blunstone]

Ex Bee, Colin Lee, has been chief executive of Torquay for the past couple of seasons.

Well done to him on his part in leading the club back into the Football League.

He joined us from Chelsea if my memory serves me correctly and was a defender who could also play up front ? Or was it the other way round???

he scored against us when they Torquay won 1-0 just before they sold him to Spurs, he scored 4 goals I think against Bristol Rovers they very next game

 

[Gee Bee]

He was a forward who eventually became a defender.

He also managed a very good youth set up at Brentford.

Supposed to be a very wealthy man who has been a bit of a "Lovejoy" in the antique trade. Think he owned a castle in the Birmingham area at one point.

Nice chap played football with his son and he set up an football academy in the south for Leicester and then Wolves with Mark McGhee which gave me the opportunity to play youth team football for both

 

[blunstone]

so maybe he really 'owns' torquay?

i rememeber him as a class act both on and off the field.

Ooh, I feel a markffc club history moment :computer: coming up ;

He started both his managerial and coaching career at Brentford, setting up the youth policy and managing the youth team, of which current Torquay Manager Paul Buckle was a member.

Having worked in just about every conceivable role on the management side of a football club, Notts County first-team coach Colin Lee is in no doubt he has found his calling at Meadow Lane.

Good article. You learn something new everyday. Had no idea/completely forgot Sir Geoff Hurst managed Chelsea.

Steve Claridge wasn't a fan in one of his books

I remember him as one of four sent off (2 from each side )for the same incident -fisticuffs against Mansfield (?). Also remember the ref just stood by doing nothing except to let the fights subside naturally. Batesy war the red carded Bee that day.

One of their players who was red carded was The goalie Kevin Hitchcock. Keith Cassells took over in goal and made a good save from a Sinton free kick right at the end
