Lee Charles Philip Harper (born 30 October 1971) is an English former footballer, and manager who played as a goalkeeper from 1993 until 2010. He notably played in the Premier League for Arsenal.
After beginning his career with Sittingbourne he went on to play in the Football League for Queens Park Rangers, Walsall, Northampton Town and Milton Keynes Dons. He finished his career in Non-league where he was briefly player-manager of Kettering Town.
Born in Chelsea, London, Harper started his career at non-League Sittingbourne, before being signed by Arsenal in June 1994. He cost Arsenal £150,000 – one of the biggest fees paid for a non-league player at the time.
He was third-choice goalkeeper at the club, behind Vince Bartram and David Seaman, and only made one first team appearance for the Highbury side, in a 2–0 FA Premier League win over Southampton on 15 March 1997. In the summer of 1997 he moved to Queens Park Rangers (QPR), and in four seasons made 118 league appearances. He moved to Walsall in 2001 after QPR were relegated to the Second Division, but made only three appearances in his single season there. He moved to Northampton Town in 2002 and became first-choice goalkeeper there, recording over 150 league appearances.
