Les Handcock was not easy to find. He played one First Grade game and a number of lower grade games during 1933 and 1934. His surname when reported varied between Handcock and Hancock and the only indication of his forename was the initial “L”.
A key piece of information was a report of his impending First Grade debut in the Sydney Morning Herald on 2 August 1933. This news item confirmed that Les was from the Western Districts Junior League, which extended from Auburn to Penrith along the western rail line.
