Thomas Edward Lee (born 3 January 1986) is an English former professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
On 6 January 2007, Lee kept goal for Macclesfield Town against English champions Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Despite suffering an injury to his arm while making a save from Salomon Kalou,[citation needed] he played on until he was sent off for a foul on Andriy Shevchenko.
[citation needed] In May 2011, Lee was offered and signed a two-year extension, keeping him at the club until June 2013.
The side missed him to the extent that without him they began a long series of matches without winning and slumped to the bottom of the League One table.
In January 2012, Lee was named man of the match in both legs of the Football League Trophy Northern Final, helping Chesterfield to a 3–1 win and their first trip to the new Wembley Stadium.
On 2 January 2016, Lee made his 300th league appearance for the Spireites in a 7–1 victory at home against Shrewsbury Town.
On 6 November 2017, Lee announced his retirement from football with immediate effect, aged 31, due to a recurring shoulder injury.
