Leigh,

I can"t tell you how stunned and saddened I am to read that you are relinquishing your role within APAT. You have been a fabulous ambassador for the organisation and you are truly one of poker"s good guys. Our poker "family" won"t be the same without you.

I appreciate that there must be good reasons for your decision and I fully respect them. I wish you nothing but success for the future and would like to thank you for all your help and support during the past three years.

All the very best mate !

That"s it, Leigh, just leave me alone - you know I just can"t stop loving you. I never can say goodbye, but I guess you wanna be starting something else.

Oh, have we finished doing the Michael Jackson thing?

Leigh was the first person I met when I went along to an APAT Regional tournament in Brighton towards the end of 07. He persuaded me to go to the upcoming National in Cardiff and I"ve been going ever since.

It won"t be the same without you Leigh. When you come back to poker remember the Solent Team needs players.

Can"t better anything that"s been said but you will be sorely missed. Many many thanks for your helping hand into the APAT community and making me feel so welcome from my first nervous appearance at Luton. Wishing you all the very best and hope to see you around soon! :) xx

APAT is one of the main reasons I continue to play live poker. Leigh personifies the spirit of APAT. Best of luck to you Leigh and enjoy some new challenges. :)

First met Leigh at my first APAT in Vienna in 2008 where we both went out just before final table. My lasting impression of him from that day and onwards was of a true gent and someone who I"ve respected greatly as a person within his role at APAT and outside of APAT as a genuine top bloke.

Going to be a near impossible task to replace. You"ll be missed and I echo all thats been said above. See you soon mate. Enjoy life. Keep on smiling. Don"t be a stranger.
