Very sad for him and his family. He will always be remembered for his calm under pressure to take the mark and slot the goal after the siren...

I knew Quenton personally. He was good friends with one of my brothers. We went to the same school.

Very sad news. I hope his family get the support that they need.

RIP Quenton, your battle is over mate. Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Very sad for him and his family. He will always be remembered for his calm under pressure to take the mark and slot the goal after the siren...

Yes I still vividly remember this, he was one of my favourite players in the early days.

RIP Quenton

Never saw him play as I came to the country after he retired....but once a Docker always a Docker.

R.I.P Quenton and condolences to his family and friends.

Yes.

I hope there is a gofundme page to help his family out during all the hospital and pallative care costs (He had been very ill for several years)

Always thought he was a handy player for Freo, and such a tragedy he won't be able to watch his kids grow up.

Hope the footy family (from all clubs) can rally around the Leach family during this very difficult time, as I say, his medical expenses would have been very substantial, and I would like to help his family get through this very heartbreaking time in even a small way (financially)

2020 really has been the ******* worst year ever.

All my sympathy to Quenton Leach'a family, friends and your footy club In this very painful time

Sad news indeed and so young. RIP and thoughts are with his family.

Sad to hear; it means very little, but a big part of a classic and charismatic time in Freo's history.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Just read this. How sad at such a young age.

I remember his after-siren goal winner, and I’m sure there was a stadium full of people who do as well!

RIP

 

[Farrand]

Very sad to hear. Was always a favourite of mine. One of my favourite games with him was in 1997 when we dismantled Essendon. Leach and the team looked so happy that day.

RIP Quenton.

 

[DRDOCKER]

Very sad news. An inaugural Freo player and absolute legend. I was lucky enough to be there when he kicked that goal after the siren. Such a thrilling unforgettable moment. Well done champ!!!

Sincere condolences to Quenton's family and friends at this difficult time....

 

[ImperialPurple]

RIP Quenton.

Once a Docker, always a Docker, and all the more special that you were part of the very first squad game this club ever put together.


Condolences to his family and friends.

 

[StingBitten]

I was 9 when he kicked that after the goal siren, was reenacting it all week on the school oval during lunch.

Seems like an ice-age ago...

Better days indeed.

 

[MakeshiftMartyr]

He was the first Freo player I ever got in a pack of footy cards, he always stuck in my memory because of that.

RIP

 

[Bojangles17]

I’m really sorry to hear this news, my sincere condolences

47 is so young. Poor guy, I feel for his family.

 

[Dockernut]

RIP

 

[Hazelsnuts]

Marist fella, great bloke and underrated footballer for Freo.
Could play anywhere....

Sad day, your pain is over - best wishes to your missus and kids....
Always will be remembered by Claremont zone juniors - Tigers and Dockers people.
RIP

Gutted to hear this. Will always be a cult hero at freo.
