RIP to Leon. My thought sand condolences are with all the family and friends of this tragic youngster.

RIP to the young lad, thoughts for family, friends and close ones. It brought a chill to my bone, so I can't begin to understand what they are going through at all.
Sad day.

They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old. Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn, at the going down of the sun and in the morning – WE WILL REMEMBER THEM:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32481.gif |

My daughter asked me last year if anyone had died playing the game. The only one (professional) that sprung to mind was Chris Sanderson - playing for Leeds at Salford in May 1977 - the week before we played Widnes in the Wembley Final. I cant recall any since Chris Sanderson.
I am old enough to remember that vividly and the tears that followed when the news broke. There was a lump in my throat last night when I heard about Leon on the nine o'clock news.
I stopped at the services on the M6 last night and there were three Wakey fans sat there - still stunned - no words were needed - their grief is shared by all in the "family"
My sincere condolences to Leon's family, his team mates and the Wakefield club in yet another dark day in their history. To lose one player was tragic but two is - uncomprehensable. Not forgetting the loss of former players in recent months Don Fox, Ken Hurst and David Topliss - as I said very sad times at Wakey. You really wouldnt wish this on anyone.
God bless you Leon

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

It has been over 30 years since someone died on the field of play - a truly horrowing accident.
One can only imagine what his family are going through today.

I was stunned when I heard the news, but I've since found out that Leon was the same age as my cousin, and attended the same high school. That really hit home as to how young he was.
RIP Leon

LEEDS RHINOS - HISTORY MAKERS-2007, 2008 and 2009 Champions
[quote="TheOtherOne":7qqvi4ts]Leeds are still the best team in the competition so if we do have to play them I would hope it's at Knowsley Road with home advantage giving us a chance to knock them out. If somehow we end up playing them at Old Trafford I can only see one outcome

I've tried my best to live by 'Everything happens for a reason' motto, but i'm finding it really hard to understand what the reason is behind this. He was a year younger than me and was playing the game he loves and it's really hit hard.
RIP Leon and thoughts for his family and friends at what is sure to be the most difficult of times.

Temptation, greets you like your naughty mate,
The one that used to get you in bother,
But one that you could never bring yourself to hate.:icons15f0_files/4862-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

I'm really shocked and saddened. RIP Leon.
