Lee Robert Clark (born 27 October 1972) is an English football manager and former player. He manages Football League One side Bury, having been appointed in February 2017.
During his playing career he had spells with Newcastle United (twice - at the start and the end), Sunderland and Fulham.
He also made 11 appearances for the England under-21 team during his international career.
After retiring he began a coaching career as reserve team manager and coach for Newcastle United. He then had manager spells at Huddersfield Town, Birmingham City, Blackpool and Kilmarnock before his move to his current club.
Born in Wallsend, North Tyneside, Clark started his career at the club he supported as a boy, Newcastle United coming up through the youth system at the club. In 1993 he was part of the Newcastle side promoted to the Premier League as champions and then helped them finish runners-up two seasons in a row. He made nearly 200 appearances scoring 23 goals for Newcastle in his first spell at the club.
Clark moved to Newcastle's local rivals, First Division club Sunderland, in 1997, and was part of the side promoted to the Premier League in 1999 as champions with a (then) professional league record of 105 points. A year earlier, he had been a key player in the side that reached the First Division play-off final, only to suffer a penalty shoot-out defeat to Charlton Athletic after a 4–4 draw at Wembley.
