Leo

When thinking of great Wests players, the name Leo “Curly” Joyce perhaps doesn’t come to mind, and that is probably due to the fact that he only played with Wests in the 1928 and 1929 season, tallying a total of four First Grade, three Reserve Grade and one Third Grade game during that time. But Leo Joyce was a country boy and that is where he played the majority of his football, particularly in the heady days of Maher Cup football in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s.
