We had three decent CBs that promotion season in Lee, Edwards, and Hunt. Hunt had a lot of potential - shame his career was ruined by injuries.
My recollection of Lee was entirely different. He fell over whenever turned, and had the acceleration of a speed bump. The fact he was only 32 when he left and his career after involves 20 odd games for Darlington (relegated) in the national league then on to Celtic Nation (whoever they are) suggests he was far from at his peak and ?decent?.

And you are right, he played in the early games under Short, and kept his place until being dropped for midfielder/full back Thompson as centre back. Also well past his prime, but still better.
