John Sebastian Lee (1869 – after 1899), also known as Jack Lee, [1] was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath. [2] He played as a forward.
Lee was born in Walsall Wood, then in Staffordshire. He played local football for Walsall Unity before joining Small Heath in 1893. Described as "a diminutive sharpshooter", [3] Lee made his debut on the opening day of the 1893–94 Second Division season, and scored twice in a 3–1 win away at Walsall Town Swifts. He played in the next six games, scoring once more, but then lost his place to Billy Walton, whose form – 16 goals from 20 games – meant he retained the inside-right position for the remainder of the season. [4] Lee dropped back into non-league football in 1895, preferring to remain in his native West Midlands rather than join a league side elsewhere. [3]
