Steele, scorer of the goal at Oxford that secured O's promotion last season, was a fans favourite and one many consider still good enough to play in League 1 for the Orient. The phrase, "Couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo," applicable to so many O's strikers over the years was certainly not applicable to Lee.
He leaves officially because of a desire to move back up north but rumours circulate of disagreement with "The Management."
