The AFL world is in mourning after one of the Fremantle Dockers’ first heroes died on Wednesday still months away from his 48th birthday.

A foundation player at the Dockers when they entered the AFL at the start of the 1995 season, Leach died on Monday after a four-year battle with testicular cancer, the club has confirmed.Fremantle paid tribute to one of the club’s first heroes in a warm obituary where the club makes special mention of his iconic match-winning goal after the siren during the 1997 season.

“Primarily a defender, Leach will long be remembered for being the first Fremantle player to secure a win with a goal after the siren. “Leachey would light up the room, he would make everyone laugh and I think that’s what everyone will miss about him,” Wira said.“He was a Marist boy, he played at Claremont and he was an inaugural Freo player. He’s touched a lot of football people over his 47 years and everyone will have a Quenton story, that will make them smile and remember him today and into the future.
