Lee Howey wrote his autobiography in 2018 - great title Massively violent and decidedly average
From the book can confirm that Lee joined Ipswich as an apprentice in July 1985 and then left in 1988 after a serious knee injury
He returned in 1993 for a trial playing in a reserve game v Charlton. He was offered a contract but instead chose to sign for his hometown club, Sunderland - managed then by Terry Butcher.
Below are the list of other clubs he played for including a spell in Belgium when he resurrected his career after his serious injury at Ipswich.
