The Dragons will be roared on by 7,000 fans during tomorrow night’s fourth-round clash at Blackburn - with Lee desperate to reward that loyalty.
And, having scored during last season’s thrilling 4-3 triumph at second-tier Coventry, the 29-year-old midfielder is optimistic about the chances of a repeat upset.
The Hollywood-backed outfit eventually bowed out to Sheffield United at this weekend’s stage last term but were a 95th-minute John Egan equaliser away from knocking the Blades out before succumbing to two more stoppage-time efforts in a 3-1 replay defeat.
Lee is now hoping to go one better as Wrexham aim to reach the last 16 for the first time since 1981.
It is a tantalising prospect that Lee admits even his father Rob – a two-time finalist with Newcastle in the late 1990s – would relish.
