The majority of his career was spent with Premier League club Aston Villa, where he spent fourteen years. He also played for the England U21s and earned one full cap for England in 1998.

Contents

[edit] Personal life

Lee Hendrie is the son of Scottish former professional footballer Paul Hendrie. Paul Hendrie moved to England in March 1972 to join Birmingham City. Hendrie was born in Birmingham on 18 May 1977. His younger brother, Stuart Hendrie, is also a footballer,[1] who played alongside him at Daventry Town.

Hendrie is the cousin of another Scottish professional footballer, John Hendrie.

On 27 January 2012, Hendrie was declared bankrupt by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs at the High Court.[2]

[edit] Club career

[edit] Aston Villa

Born in Birmingham, Hendrie made his debut for Aston Villa as a substitute in a 1–0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on 23 December 1995 and went on to achieve the accolade of the club's "Young Player of the Season" award in the 1997–98 season.

After losing his place in the Villa team during the 2005–06 season it seemed Hendrie's long spell at Villa Park was coming to an end, with Portsmouth reportedly showing an interest in his services. On 29 September he joined Stoke City on loan, on the recommendation of his father.[3][4] On 30 January 2007, he extended his loan spell with the Potters until the end of the 2006–07 season.[5] Whilst at Aston Villa he played in the 2000 FA Cup Final.

During Hendrie's time with Villa, he crashed his Porsche as he tried to make a plane for a European game and his manager Graham Taylor had to deal with other disciplinary matters.[6][7][8]

[edit] Sheffield United

Hendrie signed a three-year contract with Sheffield United after arriving on a free transfer in July 2007,[9][10] making his debut on the opening day of the season, a 2–2 home draw with Colchester United.[11] However, he was dogged by injuries for the first half of the season.[12][13] Hendrie scored his first goal for the Blades in a 5–0 win over Morecambe in the League Cup in September 2007,[14] but was unable to hold down a regular first-team place as the club struggled in the bottom half of the table. He scored his first league goal for Sheffield United in a 2–1 win over QPR on 12 January 2008.[15]

With the departure of Bryan Robson in February 2008, new manager Kevin Blackwell quickly allowed Hendrie to join Leicester City in an emergency loan deal,[16] with a view to a permanent move.[17] He scored the winning goal for Leicester in a 1–0 win over Scunthorpe United on 29 March 2008[18] but could not prevent the club's relegation to League One and he subsequently returned to Bramall Lane.

In November 2008 he joined Blackpool on loan initially until 1 January 2009,[19] making his debut as a second-half substitute the same day in the West Lancashire derby at home to Preston North End at Bloomfield Road. He was sent off for Blackpool versus Reading on 9 December 2008 and returned to Sheffield United on 31 December 2008 having made six appearances.[20]

Having returned to Bramall Lane once more he vowed to try to force his way into first team contention having been given a wake up call by his time at Blackpool.[21] He made a number of further substitute appearances for The Blades up to the end of the season. Having been brought off the bench in the 85th minute of the play off final against Burnley at Wembley he was subsequently sent off after the final whistle had blown for directing foul language at referee Mike Dean.[22]

Following the Blades unsuccessful play off campaign Hendrie was placed on the transfer list as the club sought to cut its wage bill.[23]

[edit] Derby County

On 1 September 2009, Hendrie joined Derby County in a swap deal that involved Jordan Stewart moving in the opposite direction. Partly due to injury, Hendrie made just five starts for Derby before he moved to Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for the rest of the season on 23 March 2010.[24] It was announced on 13 May 2010, that he would leave Derby at the end of his contract after just 10 appearances from his nine months with the club.[25]

[edit] Bradford City

Hendrie was set to join Scottish-side Aberdeen but the deal fell through at the last minute.[26] Instead, he started training with Championship side Reading,[27] but was not offered a contract[28] and was instead offered a short-term deal at his cousin John Hendrie's former club Bradford City by manager Peter Taylor.[29] Taylor had previously managed Hendrie for England under-21s. Talking about his signing and the short-term deal, Hendrie said: "These next few weeks will be very interesting for me, and I will knuckle down. I have to use this to build up my fitness and get back to my peak."[30] On 1 January 2011 it was confirmed by Bradford manager Peter Taylor that Hendrie's deal would not be extended due to finances and that the player had in fact, left the club. Taylor said "I feel really sorry for him. He has been a superb professional during his time at the football club. Lee's a great lad, he's still a great player. We have a League Two budget and we could only take this deal so far". Hendrie had played 14 times for The Bantams and had scored twice.

Hendrie was offered a deal by Conference National side Mansfield Town but turned it down because of a better offer from Bandung F.C., a club from Indonesian breakaway league, Liga Primer Indonesia.[31]

[edit] Bandung

On Wednesday 26 January 2011, Bandung announced the signing of Hendrie on a free transfer. Hendrie signed a two year contract with the Indonesian outfit and was assigned the number 10 jersey. He was both the first Englishman and the first player with Premier League experience to sign for a Liga Primer Indonesia club. Upon signing Hendrie stated that "I am proud to have the opportunity" in the Jakarta offices of the league.[32]

He made his debut on 5 February 2011 in a 1–0 defeat against Persema Malang. He scored his first goal for Bandung and provided an assist for Perry N Somahon 12 February 2011 in a 3-2 defeat against Batavia Union.

On 12 March 2011, he provided another assist for Perry N Somah in a 1-0 win against Minangkabau F.C.. It was Bandung's first win in the 2011 Liga Primer Indonesia.

At the end of season Hendrie was released from the club. During his stay in Indonesia, Hendrie earned a reported yearly salary of $550,000 (£350,000) which was a record for the country's top league.[33]

[edit] Daventry Town

Throughout the summer of 2011, Hendrie joined a number of clubs for training and on trial. He was linked with a move to Wrexham but any hopes of that materialising broke down with manager Dean Saunders' departure to Doncaster Rovers.[34] In July he joined Corby Town on a month's trial, however after just three weeks he left on his own accord. In late August, Hendrie agreed to train with Hinckley United, staying with the club for a month and playing in one friendly match at the start of October. Later that month, he signed for Daventry Town until the end of the season. Hendrie was signed by Daventry Town manager Mark Kinsella who one of his former team mates at Aston Villa.

He made his debut for the club on 15 October 2011 in an FA Cup Third Qualifying Round match against Nuneaton Town (Daventry lost the game 2–1). He played his first league game in a 2–0 loss against Uxbridge three days later. Hendrie's first win as a Daventry Town player came on 22 October as Kidsgrove Athletic were beaten 4–3 in the First Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy.[35][36] Hendrie's younger brother, Stuart, joined him at Daventry on 21 October 2011, signing on a short-team loan deal from Hinckley United.[37]

[edit] Kidderminster Harriers

On 9 November 2011 Hendrie was unveiled by Kidderminster Harriers as having signed on non-contract terms.[38]

[edit] International career

Despite his Scottish parentage, Hendrie represented England, the country of his birth, at international level. He appeared twelve times for the England under-21 team, scoring five goals.[39]

He won his only full international cap for England at the age of 21 as a late substitute on 18 November 1998 against the Czech Republic. He came on in the 77th minute for Aston Villa team-mate Paul Merson in a 2-0 win.
