Bio
A professional sprinter from Tasmania, Leigh McConnon utilised his blistering raw pace on the wing to carve out a unique two-club VFL career. After starring in a premiership with North Hobart, he was recruited by Carlton and debuted in 1976, immediately featuring in a Preliminary Final campaign during his first season. The lightly-framed speedster returned to his home state after two years with the Blues, only to be lured back to the VFL by Fitzroy in 1980. McConnon spent a further two seasons adding valuable run and carry to the Lions' midfield before retiring, eventually earning induction into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame.
