Last month Leonard passed away fondly remembered by family and friends.

In 1960 he was a quiet boy in a noisy classroom full of spirited children of various nationalities already written off as 11+ failures. Two of the other boys had been placed on remand.

Leonard steered clear of trouble and avoided the bullies who taunted those who were easy meat. He left school with few qualifications but he worked hard and became a manager in the city parks and garden department. He cared for his family and had a season ticket at Meadow Lane.

He will be fondly remembered.

    A nice tribute Brian for someone who was clearly one of the good guys. ‘County’ will miss him too.
