Biography
Lacrosse player Leonard Clayton was one of Lancashire’s best goalkeepers in the 1920s. A former Manchester Grammar School student, he played club lacrosse with second division Monton before joining Albert Park in the first division in September 1924. At the end of the season he helped them win their first ever Senior Northern Flags before going on to beat Brockhurst Hill and win the Iroquois Cup for the first and only time.
Apart from playing for Great Britain at the 1928 Olympics, Clayton won county honours with Lancashire and regularly played for The North in the annual match against The South. In 1926 he was in goal when Lancashire beat Middlesex 15-5 in the County Championship Final.
