Here's a nice story...
I've mentioned in the past that my 12yo nephew who lives in Perth is Leo's greatest fan (to the point that he chose Leo as his confirmation name - Catholics will know what I mean...).
Leo rang my brother a few weeks back to tell him this week would be his last game so bro arranged for him and the nephew to come to Sydney for the big game (yes, perhaps a little OTT, but being a 12yo Swans fan in Perth does deserve some kudos!).
Anyways, they went into the rooms after the game and my brother presented Leo with a small gift to say thanks - Leo says "Great - and I've got something for you." He then presents my nephew with his shorts, socks AND boots that he's worn for his final game. What a fantastic gesture!
My nephew, who's normally a pretty quiet fella, had a grin from ear to ear for the rest of the night! Truly an occasion he won't forget - and another reminder we've lost a little ripper with Leo.
