    'The death of his sister, then divorce from his first wife and separation from his children, added to potentially career-ending ankle, thigh and Achilles injuries all contributed and he came close to suicide.'

    Poor bloke, wish him all the best

    Decent player but injury prone for long periods of his career certainly not a donkety in my view but finished by the time he came to us

    He tried to commit suicide whilst with us- very sad. Wish him all the best.

    I thought Leon McKenzie was a brilliant player despite the fact he was constantly injured whilst with us, his close control was brilliant and I was dissappointed not to see the best of him. Really feel for the guy considering everything thats happened to him, I hope his music career makes him happy, the word 'retire' makes him sound a lot older than he is, so you never know, one day he might 'make it' as a professional musician.

    This is a very sad thing - yes, it's a deliberate attempt to flout the law, but couldn't some mitigation have been applied to take into account his none-too-healthy mental state at the time of the offence?
