Bio
Recruited from the VAFA powerhouse Collegians, Warren Lee was a promising talent who managed to break into one of the most formidable lineups in VFL history. Joining Hawthorn during their dominant 1978 campaign, the 20-year-old utility impressed immediately upon his debut, holding his own alongside superstars like Leigh Matthews and Michael Tuck. Standing 183cm, he showed the poise and capability to impact the scoreboard, booting two goals in his brief stint at the top level. However, his career is remembered as a classic case of "what could have been," as a severe knee injury sustained after just six senior appearances prematurely ended his time in the VFL before he could fully establish himself in the side that would go on to win that year's premiership.
