LES GARDINER is the usual back pocket man for Essendon, and has done a man-sized job since taking over that position. He is thoroughly experienced, as he came from Brunswick United and had his first senior game in 1943. His tally to the end of last year was 102 games. Les has tons of fearless dash and judgment, is an excellent mark and kick, and plays shoulder to shoulder with his opponent.
Les, who is employed in a nut and bolt firm, is married, and spends most of his leisure time on a new house he is building in Pascoevale.
