Shocking news. when I was a 10yr old kid, he and Carman shared a house a few doors up from me, and they were both terrific blokes. An absolute tragedy.

Very sad news sounded like a great bloke. My dad said he was the first real athelete in the ruck and was ahead of his time. A mate of mine worked with him and said he was a good bloke. I hope it inspires the lads as friday comes around.

That's such sad news. I was only a kid, but I still remember the time when he won the Brownlow....the 1st one I can recall. I think the medal count was broadcast on the radio, and I remember being so excited that a Collingwood player had won it!
Hope we can win it this week for big Len. Deepest sympathy to his family and to all 'Pies fans.

Am in total shock, I used to wear his number on my back when I was growing up in the 60's. So sad, and really so young. Was one the true greats of Collingwood and the game. RIP Thommo.
Is there any place you would rather be, than with me at the MCG?

Hi,

I am an Essendon supporter who saw Len play many great games against us. Always played the game hard, but fairly, and was one of the very best opponents we played against.

My sincere thoughts go out to his family and to all the pies supporters who enjoyed watching him play.

R.I.P.

I didn't get to see him live as a player, but obviously one of the very best.

RIP
