Classy left footer
Don’t know why but the Welsh seem to have a disproportionate number of quality lefties down the years
RIP

The name rings a bell as a player but I only started avidly watching footy around 88. Was he still playing at a high level then?
Regardless of that RIP Leighton

Who was the Leighton we had , midfielder died of a heart attack after playing football just after his sunday dinner or something like that? Always thought that was LJ.

Cousin to a former girlfriend. We used to watch him fly down the wing when living in Swansea. A terrific player who wouldn't be messed with by hacker fullbacks much! RIP

Very sad news Leighton never shy was on the other end of one of Denis Smiths most robust challenges in front of the boothen paddock , well it started in front of the paddock and finished with Leighton well and truly in it .
stood up for himself and a very decent player RIP.
