Feel this debate is best left for now until funeral arrangements etc are finalised.

Until then it's best to reflect on a tragic time and feel for his family, team mates, everyone associated with the Wildcats and also those Celtic Crusaders players who were playing against him at the time.

RIP

I do not disagree.... but I personally feel his memory is best served playing the game he clearly loved but there are obviously other considerations that need to be taken into account.

My reflection is with his family as the rest of my post indicated and my thoughts remain with them.

Yesterday I watched my son, the same age as Leon play. As a mother my heart goes out to his family - there 'for the grace of God...

RIP Leon son.

As a mum myself, I feel desperately for his parents and family.

Our players risk so much every time they play our beautiful game. Respect to them all.

To Leon . RIP ... my condolences to your family and team mates.

Horrific news. RIP young man.

Terrible news, my heart goes out to his family and I'm sure they can only take comfort from the fact that he passed away playing the sport that he undoubtedly loved. May he rest in peace and, hopefully, some positive may come from this and possibly lead to better screening for potential heart defects and the like.

My thoughts are with his family and friends, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that.
