Lee Lidgard (born 17 May 1968) is a New Zealand former professional rugby union player.[1]
A St Stephen's product, Lidgard played as a prop and was a regular fixture in the Counties Manukau front-row throughout the 1990s. He was a NZ Maori representative player and competed in the Super 12 from 1997 to 1999, for the Chiefs and Blues. Soon after being appointed Counties captain in 1999, Lidgard suffered a season-ending neck injury, which sidelined him for two years.[2] He returned to professional rugby in 2001–02 at Italian club Viadana, linking up with his former Counties coach Mac McCallion.[3] In 2005, Lidgard returned to Counties for one final season and brought up his 100th game in their Division 2 semi-final against Nelson Bays.[4]
