Saint Legge!


Perhaps it's a bit to early to request the canonisation of Leon Legge but he secured a deserved point for the Bees on Tuesday night.

The big defender signed from non-League Tonbridge Angels in the summer headed the equaliser in the 83rd minute sparing Kevin O'Connor's blushes after he missed a 70th minute penalty.

At nearly 25 he's a bit of a late comer to the Football League but after, and not unexpectedly considering the jump in level, looking a little raw in his first two or three appearances, I have a feeling he's already well on the way to becoming a cult hero at Griffin Park much like one of his predecessors, Sam Sodje.

I can't speak for other Bees fans but since becoming a regular (and somewhat surprising) starter in November he's been one of the most consistent members of the first team. In fact he's already been rewarded with a contract extension untill June 2011. Keep up the good work Leon!
