Dad made his under 23s debut in 1963, made his first grade debut in 1966 and retired from in 1975.
He was a stalwart of the Roosters and even to this day, gets passionate about the red, white and blue!
If anyone has any pictures or footage of Dad, please let me know.

Cheers Les!!!!

Great footballer in some sides that sometimes struggled. Always tackled around the bootlaces. A true gentleman on & off the field

Les was a hero in the early 60s for myself & other team mates of the Bondi United JRLFC. He was a few years older than us & played with guile & courage through-out his whole football career. He was also a good boxer where he also displayed his courage and ability.

As a kid I spent a lot of time at the Sports Ground Les was one of my favourite players he always gave 100%
Jack Gibson said Pound for pound Bunny Reilly and Les were as tough as anyone he coached.

As a 10 year old, Les taught me to box at the Paddington Police Boys Club as he was a great friend of my father who was the treasuer of the Eastern Suburbs Junior League in the the 60's. He was a great rugby league player and stalwart

I meet Les in the late 60's at East's and use to sit with him before he went into the sheds leading up to his game , a real good bloke well loved at the Roosters tough as teak ,great defender and no one would take him on in a fight .
Last time I say Les was at the Rugby League Museum and I showed him around the exhibition
We talked about the good old days at the Sports Ground and the mighty Easts
