As a footballer, his finest hour undoubtedly came in 1874 when he was voted Champion of the Colony.
Born in Victoria, Jack Leckie played his early football in the VFA with Essendon and Fitzroy before following the well-worn path westwards to the West Australian goldfields town of Coolgardie where, in 1895, he was heavily instrumental in getting organised football underway via the formation of the three team Yilgarn Football Association.
His achievement in steering Maryborough to the 1931 Ballarat Football League premiership caught the attention of the powers-that-were at South Melbourne, and the 1932 season saw him replacing Paddy Scanlan as coach of the forward-thinking, ambitious Bloodstained Angels.

Football by this stage was being marred by acts of premeditated violence, both on and off the field of play, and was losing popularity as a result, as well as attracting the same kind of press criticism that rugby had had to endure in the 1880s.
The Dockers, from the start, were keen to enmesh themselves in the fabric of local football history by, for example, the establishment in 1995 of a 'Hall of Legends' which recognised and celebrated the contributions made to football in Fremantle by a range of former East Fremantle and South Fremantle identities.
He played interstate football for WA on 22 occasions, and was a member of the 1979, 1980 and 1986 All Australian teams, being selected as captain twice.

Speaking on Melbourne radio last year, Fremantle chief executive Cameron Schwab tried to convince the Victorian football public that the inferiority complex at his new club was being nipped while it, and indeed the club, was still a bud.
In recent seasons, the Dockers had added two-time premiership player Peter Bell, Hawthorn pin-up boy Trent Croad and local-boy-made-good Jeff Farmer to their list, while Matthew Pavlich, one of the nation's brightest prospects, was in the process of negotiating a new contract.
Seemingly without the blistering pace, athletic physique and brute strength that an elite footballer is supposed to have, Medhurst, who was left with just 50 per cent working capacity in one of his kidneys after an on-field incident, stunned many observers in 2001 when he finished the season as leading goalkicker in the WAFL.

Pavlich, or the One Man Spine as he has been dubbed after being named All Australia in nearly every key position on the ground, was the only Docker to make the grade this year but he's had such a good season himself that Fremantle will still be carrying the Austrian side.
