Harvey Leigh
Harvey Leigh is an ex professional footballer, having retired only 2 years ago at the tender age of 30. Having come up through the youth ranks at Chelsea, he made his career predominantly playing in the Championship and League One for the likes of Middlesbrough, Brentford and Gillingham, making over 400 appearances in English league football. A big lad at 6ft 6", he was once described as a 'beast of a centre back' by Claudio Ranieri who oversaw a lot of Leigh's development as a youngster at Chelsea.
Leigh moved to West Brom at 28 and enjoyed two years of Premiership football before he retired. There was no big injury or anything like that. Harvey Leigh simply had an itch that needed scratching. He had always had a fascination with the management side of the game and was once quoted as saying 'I'll be the best manager ever one day, you'll see'.
A big statement that it seems Leigh will now have a chance to prove...having spent 2 years away earning all of his coaching badges, Leigh is now fully qualified to a Continental Pro License level, and with plenty of playing experience behind him as well, the chances of him landing a half decent job from the off are pretty good.
Currently unemployed, it remains to be seen as to where Harvey Leigh will turn up, but we'll be watching his career with interest!
