Went to school with her, and she was in my PE class. Most of the other girls bullied me for being shit at sports, but Leah never gave me a hard time over it and was always very encouraging. For someone who really suffered being in school, that meant a lot to me, even if it was just a small thing. Thanks Leah, if you ever happen to read this. ❤

[@Buckblacket]

School can be torture at times. I often shudder when I think back to those days.

[@g2024_]

Such a lovely person and always comes across so down to earth and humble. But also seems very strong person and not only has the conviction to do well but also to want there to be a chance for all other young girls/women to be given the opportunity to also play football or any sport they want to participate in ❤

Love this woman. She was my favourite player, the way she reads the game and passes out from the back. Class. Went to the final, what a day it was.

[@goldy7678]

What a talented, dedicated, and adorable young woman. Congrats Leah to you and the rest of the ladies on the team. You did us proud.

[@simondover569]

A real leader doesn`t need to say anything. People follow a leader. A leader gets everyone ready before. Leah is that kind of leader.

Corinthians 69: Jesus and John walked through Brixton on a Saturday night. ‘I have rolled thy a spliff my lord’ said John. ‘Thanks bruva, your bang is always bare loud fam’ said Jesus as the took the roll up. Jesus put the join to his lips, lit it, and took a fat toke. He began to cough, heavily. ‘Fuckinnn hell bruv, this shit is getting me baked already cuz. Imma see heaven before I even get there lol’. John smiled and nodded before saying ‘only the very best for you my lord’. They kissed.
