Lee Adrian Frost (born 4 December 1957) is an English retired professional footballer who played as a winger in the Football League for Chelsea and Brentford.
A winger, Frost began his career in the youth system at Second Division club Chelsea, signing his first professional contract in July 1976. He had to wait until 15 April 1978 to make his first-team debut, which came with a start in a 2âÂÂ0 First Division defeat to Aston Villa. Frost joined newly promoted Third Division club Brentford on a one-month loan in October 1978. He made six appearances without scoring before his loan expired.
Chelsea's relegation at the end of the 1978âÂÂ79 season opened up a place in the team and he made his first appearance of 1979âÂÂ80 on 20 October 1979. He scored his first senior goal as 10-man Chelsea beat Cardiff City 2âÂÂ1. Frost made a name for himself on his following appearance, scoring a hat-trick in a win over Orient on 10 November and following up with another goal in a 2âÂÂ1 victory over West Ham United. He made semi-regular appearances through to March 1980 and finished the 1979âÂÂ80 season with five goals in 12 appearances. Frost moved to Finland to join 1. Divisioona club MYPA on loan during the 1980 season. He scored three goals for the club.
Frost made his first appearance of the 1980âÂÂ81 season on 3 September 1980, with a start in a 1âÂÂ1 League Cup second-round second-leg draw with Cardiff City. It proved to be his final appearance for the club and he departed in December 1980, having made 18 appearances and scored five goals during just under two and a half years in the first-team squad at Stamford Bridge.
Frost and Chelsea teammate Gary Johnson joined Brentford permanently in a ã15,000 deal in December 1980. Frost scored three goals in 15 appearances before his release at the end of the 1980âÂÂ81 season.
After his release from Brentford, Frost dropped into non-League football and played for Southern League clubs Addlestone & Weybridge Town, Salisbury and Crawley Town.
