He famously kicked a goal after the siren against the Brisbane Lions in round eight of the 1997 season to steer the Dockers to a thrilling five-point win at Subiaco Oval.

Leach was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2016.

He was reportedly taken into palliative care this week and died on Monday afternoon.
