One of the success stories of Aylesbury United's Youth Development scheme, Lee Cook made the progression into Aylesbury's first team in 1999 before ultimately progressing to then Premiership side Fulham, where he was signed for £2.5m from Queens Park Rangers.

After becoming a first team regular with the Ducks, a string of impressive displays, earned himself a trial with Watford who saw enough potential to sign him to a permanent deal.

Injury unfortunately disrupted the start to his professional career, but after spending time on loan with York City and QPR he forced his way back into the reckoning, and established himself as a first team regular for the Hornets in 2003/04, before signing for his boyhood idols QPR in Summer 2004.

Over 100 appearances followed, during which time he won Young Player of the Year award in his first season at QPR, followed by both the Supporters' Player and Players' Player of the Year awards.

His good form attracted regular interest from Premiership clubs, and after almost a year of speculation Fulham finally concluded a deal to take 'Cookie' to the Premiership in July 2007.

Sadly, injury once again hampered his progress, and resulted in him making no appearances for the Cottagers, before loan spells with Charlton Athletic and a return to QPR, followed by his latter career taking him to Leyton Orient, Barnet and Eastleigh.
