Lee Barnard (born July 18, 1984) is a striker for Tottenham Hotspur, the reserve team's top goal scorer during the 2003-04 season.
Born in Romford in 1984, he attended Billericay's Mayflower County High School.
He has played for Leyton Orient, Northampton, Exeter, and Stevenage on loan.
Thanks to his prodigious goalscoring rate at reserve level he was expected to make his first team debut in the 2005-06 season. He was due to make his debut in the match against Charlton on 5 February 2006. Spurs were leading 3-0 until a Charlton goal in the 69th minute meant Martin Jol did not want to bring on another striker so Barnard had to wait. Following the match he suffered a foot sprain which kept him out of action for 5 weeks, only returning for the reserve match against Leicester City on 18 March.
On 17 April he finally got to make his Premiership debut in the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United at White Hart Lane, coming on after 77 minutes as a substitute.
Barnard also came on the following week against Bolton Wanderers despite not scoring he made a significant impact and looked comfortable in the air and with the ball at his feet and caused the Bolton defenders quite a few problems.
Barnard was one of ten Spurs squad members to be struck down by food poisoning on the evening of 6 May 2006 before their crucial final game of the season against West Ham United. Unable to postpone, they went on to lose and therefore slipped to 5th. This allowed rivals Arsenal to take the fourth Champions League place for that season.
