Filming begins in two weeks and the film will not only focus on Leon's well documented life but will also show him getting fit in order to have one last crack at the Football League this summer where a number of clubs have expressed an interest in taking him on trial.

At this moment in time we are currently trying to track down as much archive footage of Leon in action as possible. If anyone should have any film of Leon playing either as a kid or for Cardiff then please get in touch with me.


One of the biggest waste of a talent I've ever seen , he could have gone far with the right attitude .
There's thousands of talented kids out there desperate for a single chance why should he get a second one ?
He tested positive for drugs and was banned , he had his chance he blew it !



well said.. he had his chance wasted it was only last year i seen him off his face in a cubicle!


Yea seen that too. Waste of time.

Leon's problems have been very well documented and he will discuss them in full on camera. It is hoped that his story will be a cautionary lesson to other young footballers and that is certainly a big part of what we are focusing on.

It is also hoped that IF Leon makes a comeback it will help to inspire other addicts who have had their lives ripped apart by an addiction. There are no doubt many people on this forum who have suffered from addiction issues. What would you like the message in society to be? You messed your life up in the past so you're not allowed any more chances or forgiveness? Or that if you are now clean and dedicated and working as hard as possible that there may be light at the end of a very dark tunnel?


Give it a rest. Quite frankly doubt anyone really interested

You cant turn the clock back and he had plenty of chances.

Surrounded himself by the wrong kind of people.


Leon is now working twice a day with a professional football fitness coach. He is 32 and has never had any injuries. Indeed, he still has an incredible amount of talent. The odds are of course stacked against him but if he can get his weight down by pre-season I am very confident he will get signed by a League Two club. Two years ago he did very well on trial at Brighton and Gus Poyet has said he will give him a good reference. All that is standing in his way is his fitness which admittedly needs a lot of work but he is pushing himself so hard he was being physically sick during the sessions last week.


Argh bless. leo this leon that, look butt we aint interested in the failure hes a nobody always been a bad egg and had his chance

Documentary about leon jeanne? :lol: you gunna make him out to be the poor misguided victim who fell in with the wrong crowd and got led to the dark side? Or you gunna tell it like it really is? I know leon well, I know his family, his mother claire, his uncles simon, john actie etc, don't make him out to be the poor victim ffs, and as for everyone deserving chances... He's had fuking loads of chances, enough for all of us Lol if he wants to sort his life out now, then he should get himself down the job center and find himself a 9-5 instead of kidding himself that he's gunna be a top professional footballer again.. His time has come and gone, hes missed the boat. no one will touch him now.
