Lee Bullen (born March 29, 1971 in Edinburgh) is a Scottish professional footballer currently playing for Scottish Premier League side Falkirk.

[edit] Career

Bullen started his career at Meadowbank Thistle, initially as a striker. He is known as an experienced and versatile footballer, having converted to a defender mid-way through his career and having plied his trade all over the world, from Scotland and Greece to Australia and China.

He played for Golden and South China as a striker in Hong Kong Football League in mid-1990s.

Once returning home to the United Kingdom, Bullen signed for Dunfermline Athletic and spent five years at the Scottish club.

After his last spell in Scotland, Bullen was signed by Chris Turner for Sheffield Wednesday on a free transfer in the summer of 2004. He immediately became an integral part of their Play-Off push after making his debut on August 7 in a 3–0 defeat on the opening day of the season at Hillsborough against Colchester United and scoring his first goal the next game on August 10, away at Blackpool to lead the team to a 2–1 victory. In November 2005 the Captain's armband was passed onto him by Chris Marsden who was forced into retirement by injury. Bullen finished his first season in Sheffield with seven league goals.

During his time at Sheffield Wednesday he played in all eleven positions for the Owls,^[1] including memorably in goal away at Millwall,^[2] and received The Wash & Go good sport award for his efforts.^[3]

In January 2008 Bullen was informed by Sheffield Wednesday manager Brian Laws that he will probably not have his contract renewed upon its expiry at the end of the 2007–08 season.^[4] Bullen's final appearance for Sheffield Wednesday came in a crucial relegation battle against Leicester City on the penultimate game of the season which the Owls won 3–1, sadly an injury sustained in this game denied him an appearance for the last match of the season versus Norwich City on 4 May 2008 and a chance to play at Hillsborough for the last time. He did however appear in the end of season lap-of-honour and received a spectacular reception from the fans. Bullen was given a Guard of honour by his Wednesday team mates as he left the pitch for the final time.

In May 2008, Bullen joined Scottish Premier League side Falkirk on a two-year deal.^[5]
