[SainterK]

Thanks...

[Junction Oval]

To a legend of the Club. We have watched in awe, your football skills and tenacity, which has provided an enormous amount of enjoyment to Saints supporters over many years.

You have also set a great example to many young Saints supporters, on how to carry yourself.

ALL supporters will miss you. So will the Club and its young, upcoming players.

Best wishes for future good health, happiness and success in the future, Lenny

[philtee]

A worthy bearer of guernsey No 7, through thick and thin, good times and bad.
An inspiration and example to all, both on-field and off-field.
I wish I was Lenny !

[Bluthy]

Mr Hayes,

I don't think I will miss anything as much as seeing you crack in like a bull with no disregard for your own safety, wheel out of the pack with the pill, doing your little one way move, then the other way to give yourself some space and then lower your eyes and set the ball up perfectly for one of your team mates. You have personified the very beating heart of one the greatest St Kilda teams ever. Sheer courage, skill, passion, never say die attitude and leaving every last ounce of yourself out on the ground in every single game. You literally could not have given any more to this club. You don't know how much you will be missed.

I have no doubt your future will be just as distinguished as your football playing days. The players that win our next premiership will be standing on the (much battered) shoulders of giants like you. Thank you for everything Lenny.

[Saintlester]

Thanks for all the marvellous games over such a long career.

Truly a living legend of our football club.

You know you've done something right when you have universal respect from opposition supporters as well as your own.

Best wishes for a continuing career in whatever comes after football.

Lenny's combination of courage, determination, tenacity and humility make him the kind of man that you want your son to emulate and your daughter to date.

He has represented our club as it should be represented and embodies "Fortius Quo Fidelius".

Universally admired and respected, that says it all.
