Timeline

1926

Legge made his League One debut in a 2–0 defeat at Yeovil Town on 26 September, coming on as an 86th-minute substitute for Cleveland Taylor.

He came close to joining Torquay United on loan, but stayed at Brentford after Mark Phillips picked up an injury.

Legge scored his first goal at Griffin Park on 28 November, which was the only goal of the FA Cup second round game against Walsall and helped to earn him the FA's "Player of the Round" award.

1985

Leon Clinton Elliott Legge (born 1 July 1985) is an English former professional footballer who plays for club Bootle.

A defender, his strong strength, positioning and tackling skills have helped him compensate for a lack of natural pace.

Diagnosed with epilepsy at the age of 16, at the time he was playing youth football for Little Common.

He went on to spend over seven years in non-League with Sidley United, Eastbourne United, Hailsham Town, Lewes and Tonbridge Angels, whilst also working as a care worker.

2005

At the age of 17, Legge joined Hailsham Town, where he was appointed captain, earning trials for Eastbourne Borough and Woking, before joining Conference South club Lewes in the summer of 2005.

His three-year spell at Lewes was later described as being "unsuccessful".

2007

Following the departure of manager Steve King upon promotion to the Conference National at the end of the 2007–08 season, Legge joined Isthmian League Premier Division side Tonbridge Angels, where he scored 10 goals in 39 appearances.

He had a trial at Millwall, but was not taken on.

2009

He turned professional at Brentford in July 2009, entering the English Football League at the age of 24.

He was handed a professional contract by Brentford in July 2009, who paid Angels a nominal fee plus top-up payments.

Before signing as a professional Legge had been working as a care worker for adults with learning difficulties and gave this up when signing for the "Bees".

He also worked numerous other jobs during his time as a semi-professional and amateur footballer, including as a bouncer.

Legge made his professional debut in a 1–0 Football League Trophy defeat at Norwich City on 1 September 2009, having been named as an unused substitute in Brentford's two previous matches.

He was named as Brentford Player of the Year at the end of the 2009–10 season and signed a new two-year contract.

2010

He was voted Brentford Player of the Year in 2010, and played on the losing side in the 2011 League Trophy final.

One month later he signed a contract extension, keeping him at Brentford until at least the end of the 2010–11 season, with manager Andy Scott saying that "Leon has improved since he's been with us and has the potential to improve".

The following month, on 26 January, he scored his first league goal, providing the late equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Southampton.

Two months later, on 23 March, he scored again in a 3–3 draw against Colchester United.

Legge continued to retain his first-team status throughout the 2010–11 season and scored four goals against Exeter City, Tranmere Rovers and Charlton Athletic.

During the season, the club reached the Football League Trophy final at Wembley Stadium, where they lost 1–0 to Carlisle United; Legge played the full 90 minutes and was booked after 24 minutes.

After the match, Legge described playing at Wembley as "privilege", though was disappointed with the result, commenting that "everything went for them [Carlisle] that day".

At the end of the season, Legge was linked with two unnamed Championship clubs.

2011

In August 2011, he signed a new contract to keep him at the club until summer 2014.

However, not long afterwards he tore his hamstring in a defeat against Tranmere Rovers and was ruled out of action until mid-November.

In mid-December, Legge scored two goals in consecutive games against AFC Bournemouth and Milton Keynes Dons.

He strained his hamstring in March, though was only sidelined for two weeks.

Despite his injuries he still managed to feature 31 times across the 2011–12 season.

2012

However, he found his first-team opportunities limited in the 2012–13 season, and was forced to settle for a place on the bench due to the arrivals of Tony Craig and Harlee Dean.

Following an impressive performance against Oldham Athletic on 22 September, manager Uwe Rösler stated: "It was crucial we had a player like Leon Legge who came on and played to his strengths, he showed what an important player he is for us. He came on and worked well. Players at our level need to understand it's a squad game. They will all play a part."

2013

He joined Gillingham on a loan move that was made permanent in January 2013, and helped the club to win promotion as League Two champions at the end of the 2012–13 season.

2015

He moved on to Cambridge United in May 2015, and was named as the club's Player of the Year at the end of the 2015–16 season.
