1978

Lee Crooks (born 14 January 1978) is an English former professional footballer who played as a defender

As a combative defensive midfielder, Crooks made 282 competitive appearances in his playing career in the top four divisions of English football, including 251 in league competition.

Possessing a powerful strike, he scored a total of 5 goals.

Crooks was born on 14 January 1978 in the city of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, England.

Crooks was a product of the youth system at Manchester City.

He also played for the England national football team at school level.

1994

As a club trainee, Crooks signed his first professional contract on 1 August 1994 (aged 16 years, 6 months, 18 days).

1995

City were relegated to Division 1 at the end of the 1995–96 season, and two years later, again, falling to Division 2, their lowest ever level.

1996

By September 1996 he was being included in the first team squad for games by caretaker manager Asa Hartford as one of three promising youngsters.

1999

He notably played in the Premier League for Manchester City and spent 6 years there during a turbulent period or relegations and promotions, including the 1999 Division 2 playoff final against Gillingham.

He went on to play for Barnsley, Bradford City, Rochdale, as well as loan spells at Northampton Town and Notts County.

He later had spells with non-league sides Guiseley and Ossett Town.

At age 32 he embarked on a new career in the British Armed Forces, joining the RAF Regiment, the infantry unit of the Royal Air Force.

Crooks was in the Manchester City team that won that 1999 Division 2 play off final at Wembley Stadium against Gillingham in dramatic fashion, albeit substituted on 85 minutes for Gareth Taylor.

Having come back from a 2–0 deficit with 2 minutes remaining, City scored twice to take the game into extra time, and then after no further scores, winning the subsequent penalty shootout.

It was three years before he scored his first goal, an equaliser against Chesterfield in an away game on 27 February 1999, which ended 1–1.

While not a prolific scorer, his first professional goal in 1999 was described by The Guardian as a "tremendous shot which thundered in off the post."

2000

Through two successive promotions however, via the play-offs from Division 2 and then by automatic promotion from Division 1, the club had returned to the Premier League in the minimum time just 2 years later, in time for the start of the 2000–01 season.

On 26 December 2000 he went out on loan to Northampton Town.

2001

He made 3 appearances before returning on 23 January 2001.

On 7 March 2001 Crooks was sold by City to Barnsley for £190,000.

Crooks scored two goals for Manchester City, both in the league.

Crooks didn't make his debut until the start of the 2001–02 season, being delayed for several months as he had operations on an injured medial collateral ligament.

2003

With new manager Paul Hart performing a summer clear out after the 2003–04 season, Crooks was given the chance to prove his fitness during the summer in order to earn a new contract.

2004

He was released by Barnsley on 28 June 2004, signing on 1 August 2004 for Bradford City.

In a total of 53 competitive appearances for Bradford he scored 2 goals.

2005

He scored once in 47 appearances in the league, with his other goal coming in the FA Cup (an equaliser against Tranmere in November 2005 ).

Similarly, his FA Cup goal for Bradford City in 2005 was described by the BBC as powerful shot which cannoned off the bar and in.

2006

Due to limited first team opportunities he went out on loan to League Two side Notts County on 9 January 2006.

He made 18 league appearances for Notts County under his former Barnsley manager Gudjon Thordarson, scoring 1 goal.

After returning to Barnsley, on 8 May 2006 he was released by the club as surplus to requirements.

He then entered talks with Notts County, but that did not lead to a contract.

As a free agent, Crooks began pre-season training with League Two side Rochdale, before signing a 12-month contract on 3 August 2006, linking up with his former Barnsley manager Steve Parkin.

Crooks made 44 appearances for Rochdale, including 40 in the League.

2008

Crooks left Rochdale by mutual consent on 26 March 2008 due to limited opportunities, having made just 5 starts during that season, with no appearances since December 2007.

Crooks joined the West Yorkshire club Guiseley, playing in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.

He also began training for an attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support in June 2008.

On 31 December 2008 he moved from Guiseley to another West Yorkshire club, Ossett Town, playing in the Northern Premier League Premier Division.

Icelander Gudjon Thordarson, his manager at Barnsley and Notts County, referred to Crooks as 'The Beast' due to his combativeness.

Crooks said before his Notts County debut, "If there is a tackle to be won, I am in there. I do like a good tackle".
