LECKIE, Harry (1910)

Overview

Another of that rare breed of centre forwards who have worn the Accies number 9 shirt over the years. Harry had senior experience prior to coming to Hamilton in 1910 when he appeared in consecutive League matches before being laid low with an injury which put paid to his Accies days. He was well liked by the fans and it was a blow when he was no longer available. In the remainder of League matches played, no fewer than six others wore his jersey, including an Irish Internationalist who in four games never scored once.

Harry died of a fever, at sea off the coast of Dublin in Nov 1913. He was a 4th engineer on the SS Kilchattan.

Debut on 20th August 1910 in a Scottish League match away to Queen’s Park.
