RIP to Leon. My thought sand condolences are with all the family and friends of this tragic youngster.
Also my heart goes out to all connected with the wakefield club, who unfortunatley have had to endure a tragic year.

Tragic.

Thoughts go to friends and family.

RIP.

Just awful news.

Condolences to the family.

A truly sad day for all involved, my condolences to his family, friends and Wakefield

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.

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

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.

Not much to add.
Just wanted to say that my thoughts go out to his friends and family.

Deepest sympathies to his family. Such a terrible thing to happen at such a young age.

totally gutted for the lad, his friends and family and all at the wakey club!!

its a stark reminder of how brave all the lads are that pull on a shirt and how tough the sport is.

RIP

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
