In 2010, he was inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame.He holds the English record for the greatest number of penalties scored in a season, a feat that earned him the nickname Lee 1 (Pen) because that was the way his name always seemed to appear on the list of goal scores for City in the match results listings in the Sunday papers.

This led to accusations of diving.One such accusation, from Leeds United's Norman Hunter, led to an on-pitch fight.After retiring from football, Lee ran a successful toilet roll business, F.H.

Lee Ltd, which made him a millionaire.In 1994, he became the major shareholder and chairman of Manchester City, but stepped down four years later.
