Harry Kenneth Leyland (12 May 1930 – 6 December 2006) was a Liverpool-born footballer who made 36 Football League appearances for Everton[2] before transferring to Blackburn Rovers. He was outstanding in the 1959–60 FA Cup semi-final against Sheffield Wednesday that Rovers won 2–1, but disappointment followed in the final when already one down Rovers lost Dave Whelan with a broken leg and went on to lose 3–0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Leyland later played for Tranmere Rovers (playing 180 League games for them[2]) and for the last 25 years of his life he was very active in the running of New Brighton Rugby Union Football Club, and in January 2009, a stand at their ground was named in his honour.[3] He also managed Wigan Athletic.
