Described by many as a legend of the Mackay cricket community, a former great of the game lost a 4-month battle with pancreatic cancer last week.
Chic Leeder was a life member, past president, first-grade captain and stalwart of Magpies Cricket Club.
A Magpies spokesperson said Chic will be remembered for his commitment to cricket and the respect and friendship he showed to all that played with and against him on the cricket field.
“Our sincere condolences go to Chic’s family and friends,” the spokesperson said in a statement posted on the club’s Facebook page.
“Chic’s hope and passion for Magpies Cricket Club will continue to guide future generations for years to come.
“Rest in peace, Chic.
“The ‘Sound of Music’ in years gone by, will never be forgotten.”
Chic captained the Magpies to a first-grade premiership win as the captain of the 1983-4 team.
