    An unsung hero in our hour of need, paying staff, players and even paying to replace the Ted Bates statue out of his own pocket.

    RIP, Leon.

    Often forgotten about but played a big part in keeping us afloat during that dark Summer iirc.

    RIP <rose>

    Thanks Leon for what you did for our club. Often overlooked due to Markus but I'm very grateful for what Leon Crouch did. RIP. <rose>

    Unsung Saints hero is sadly true. Markus rightly gets a lot of plaudits for saving us, but Leon played a vital part in keeping us afloat and is all too often forgotten. Lifelong Saints fan too. Thank you Leon, RIP.

    Very sad news, a true Saints hero, without whom the Liebherr takeover may not have happened, as we might have folded.

    RIP Leon <rose>

    A very sad day but one in which we should all just say our own quite thank you to this man.

    Very sad news indeed. Probably would've done a better job than Lowe. I bet Lowe wouldn't have paid Players/Staff out of his own pocket.

    Never in a million years. Bastard will probably live forever, too.



    Hope there’s a good view of St Mary’s (and Bramall Lane) from up there Leon
