Footballer Lee Sharpe was born on 27th May 1971 in Halesowen, England. Lee began his career at Torquay United F.C. However, in his first season for them, after only 16 games, Manchester United F.C. noted his potential and swooped to sign him in June for £200,000. Whilst at Manchester United, Lee established himself as a fantastic left winger, and earned a call up to the England squad. However, injury, and subsequent competition for places meant he missed many games during his time there, and was often played out of position at left back. In total he played 265 games during eight years there, scoring 36 goals.Despite his injury history, Leeds United F.C. signed him for £4.5 million in the summer of 1996, making him their record signing. During his soccer career Lee paved the way for many of our modern soccer hunks, mixing sex appeal with sport. Lee continues to appear in TV shows and has an autobiography, My Idea Of Fun.
