Lee Sinnott (born 12 July 1965) is an English former professional footballer turned football manager; his last position was as manager of Altrincham, before he left the club in March 2016.
As a player, he was a defender for Walsall, Watford, Bradford City, Crystal Palace, Huddersfield Town, Oldham Athletic and Scarborough. His biggest impact was at Bradford City, where he stayed for five years over two spells, making over 200 appearances. He made 505 appearances in the Football League, and over 600 appearances in all competitions. He played in the 1984 FA Cup Final for Watford, taking home a runners-up medal.
He achieved enormous success as manager of Farsley Celtic between 2003 and 2007, winning promotion three times in four seasons to take the club from the Northern Premier League to the Conference. This was followed by a short spell at league club Port Vale in the 2007–08 season. He managed Bradford Park Avenue for ten months in 2009, before returning to the game with Altrincham in 2011. He led Altrincham to win promotion out of the Conference North via the play-offs in 2014.
Born in Aldridge, Walsall, he began his career at Walsall as an apprentice, signing professional in 1982. He made 40 first-team appearances in his first season at Fellows Park before joining First Division Watford. At the end of his first season, when still only 18 years old, he played in the 1984 FA Cup Final against Everton at Wembley Stadium, collecting a runners-up medal. He helped Watford reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup three seasons later.
