OLLY LEE
Born: 11 July 1991
Former clubs: None
A versatile midfield player who is good with both feet, Olly Lee is hoping to follow in his famous father's footsteps by enjoying a successful career.
The son of former West Ham United and England player Rob Lee, Olly is a talented midfielder capable of playing out wide and at wing-back, but he is most comfortable in the centre of the park.
A bout of glandular fever and a leg injury laid Lee low during the 2009/10 season, but he still has plenty of time to follow his father by becoming a Barclays Premier League regular.
