Lee Stuart Baxter (born 17 June 1976) is a Swedish football goalkeeper and coach who has played for clubs in Sweden and England[1] and trained goalkeepers in several international clubs. He moved from Malmö FF to Sheffield United in 2003, to cover a goalkeeping crisis. His only appearance was The Blades Football League match against Burnley on 6 December 2003. He was deemed to be at fault for two of the goals and was subbed at half time for Alan Fettis.[2]
Baxter only played for Sheffield United in England, before moving back to Sweden with IFK Göteborg.[1]
He is the son of football manager Stuart Baxter, and grandson of footballer Bill Baxter.
Following his playing career, he took on the role of goalkeeper coach at AIK.[3] In 2015, he moved to Turkish Super Lig team, Gençlerbirliği S.K.[4] His time at the club was cut short, following the dismissal of the head coach.[5] Later he worked as the Head Goalkeeper coach at Supersport United, in the South African Premier Soccer League (PSL). He was later goalkeeper coach for AGF,[6] Kaizer Chiefs,[7] and IFK Göteborg.[8]
