Rover Trevor Leo came to Hobart from Cooee where he was a Best and fairest winner. He made his Hobart debut in 1954 and was a member of their premiership side that year as well as in 1959 and 1960. His greatest individual achievement as a player was winning the William Leitch Medal in 1957 and he also won two Best and fairests while at Hobart.
