    Whatever happened to Testimonials? If there was one retiring player that we should have a testimonial for I'd say it was Leon Cort!

    Good luck to him, one of the best in the air I've seen in recent years. Anyone know if he's been doing his coaching badges? Seems like the sort of role he would suit given the respect he garners

    Know he posted on here a while ago, best of luck to you Leon if you're reading..

    Interesting he had the opportunity to continue playing, but opted to call it a day.

    Really rated him, thought he was absolutely quality for us.

    Am I being blind or does that article not even mention his spell with us? we really are DEEPLY DEEPLY unfashionable to even utter our name aren't we?!

    Good luck Leon , I agree when fit he has been our best centre back over the past three years .

    But I was surprised he tried to continue.

    I saw the U21's play Palace at Tooting and Mitcham's ground when he was making his comeback and he lasted 40 minutes . I thought then that was the last time I would see him play . I was surprised then 2 weeks later to see him on the bench for the first team against Yeovil and come on to play a part in repelling the Glovers late onslaught.

    Liked Cort done a very good job in our promotion push when Taylor was dropped. Unfortunatly injuries played a part in what could have been a better career.

    Good luck (didnt know he posted on ere)

    All been said above but a proper, body-on-the-line centre half who will always be fondly thought of in these parts after stepping in to help us over the 100 points mark. Good luck Leon.

    - He played more games for Palace during his peak
    - He's a Southend legend
    - He helped Stoke win promotion and played in the Premier League for them

    Thanks for those die hard shifts you put in Leon, talk about leading by example. Never got bored seeing his die hard blocks and lunges, superb positioning.

    Wish him all the best for the future.

    Said it on the thread when he was released...I thought he was our best centre half and I always felt better when he was in the team. Showed his class on the pitch and off it when he signed up to CL and posted a great response.

    Wish him all the very best in whatever he chooses to do. Will always get a great response at The Valley from me.

    I ust have missed this, any links?

    If you include the loan spell he only played 1 more game for the Stripey Nigels than he did for us

    Hi Charltolife,

    I'm Leon posting on here.

    Thanks for all your support over the past few years, it was a pleasure to play for the Eagles.

    Roland has told me that we are his second priority so don't stress, he will bring us back up if he gets us relegated on purpose.

    He has great tactical knowledge too, so it's fine that he picks the team and Bob just nods.

    I've loved playing for you guys, and Bermondsey will always have a special place in my heart.

    Thanks.

    Leon Cort.
