Inaugural Fremantle Dockers player Quenton Leach dies after cancer battle

Inaugural Fremantle squad member Quenton Leach has died after a battle with cancer.

Leach, who was 47, played in the WA club's first AFL game and made 56 senior appearances between 1995-1998.

He famously kicked a goal after the siren against Brisbane in round eight of the 1997 season to steer the Dockers to a thrilling five-point win at Subiaco Oval.

Leach was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2016.

He was reportedly taken into palliative care this week and died on Monday afternoon.

Leach is survived by wife Shannan and three children.
