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.
