He is a legend of the game,my dear mother, Jacks daughter would very often refer to him when was playing junior football for Claremont by saying your grand father would be proud of that one handed pickup or piece of play I was involved in ,which would make me very proud to be the grandson of the first man to coach WA to their first national carnival win in 1921 and Perth Football Club to their first Premiership in the early 19 hundreds

Wonderful work Moya and thank you Mal for your continuing perseverance in uncovering our family’s history. My husband David is John Leckie’s grandson. David and his sons have obviously inherited their love of the game from him. Barbara

In reply to Mal. I also thank you as John Leckie was my Great Grandfather and it is so nice to be able to get a little glimpse into the life of one of my ancestors. I have been told many stories about him, so it is nice to be able to see the facts as they are. I truly appreciate your time and effort.
