Lee Thorpe

Lee Anthony Thorpe (born 14 December 1975) is an English former professional footballer and youth development coach for Blackpool.

Whilst with Blackpool, he also had a loan spell with Welsh club Bangor City, and finished his career in non-league football with Fleetwood Town and AFC Fylde.

On 25 April 2006, Thorpe scored a fantastic overhead kick in a 4–0 win over Stockport County; in November 2012 it was named as Torquay's best goal of all time by FourFourTwo readers.

[13] After losing his place in the Brentford first XI under new manager Andy Scott, Thorpe joined Rochdale on a free transfer on 31 January 2008.

[18] In July 2011 he agreed to join Northern Premier League First Division North club AFC Fylde, signing a one-year contract.

[19] He was released by Fylde in December 2011, having been left out of more recent matchday squads due to budget issues as he was "one of the bigger earners" at the club.
