Misspelt his name in the thread title, despite it being right there in the post. Apologies.

RIP.

@LukeH - I suspect he may be a Leonard so Lenny/Lennie open to interpretation.

OMG he was only 46.

I can't believe he only played 26 games for us. Many others have played a lot more times and have been forgotten.

Damn I remember him making his debut, RIP Lenny.

Thought it worth linking Lenny’s last minute winner v Bristol City that a lot of folk have mentioned.

19yo on debut and cracks home the winner. Happy day for Lenny. RIP

I always kept my eyes out when getting in a cab but wasn't ever picked up by him.

RIP Lenny

Remember it well as I was just behind the goal as it went in. Great goal!!

RiP Lennie.

All of us who were at that game will never forget that last minute winner. It was very special.

I also remember that just a few minutes later a load of Brizzle shitheads trying to attack Gills fans exiting through the gate from the RE onto Redfearn Avenue. I also seem to remember (though I might have this bit wrong - exaggerated or remembered from a different occasion) one solitary female copper trying (and partially succeeding) to hold the City thugs back. It was all very brief but ugly nevertheless and if nothing else it confirmed just how much Lennie's winner to had pissed then off.

I remember an away game at Brighton's Withdean Stadium where he scored the winning goal I think. He ran over very excitedly to the Gills fans waving his shirt he'd just taken off on scoring, then got booked.
RIP Lenny.

Was that not Kevin James?
