Leon McKenzie
| Date of birth | 17 May 1978 |
| Place of birth | Croydon |
| Nationality | English |
| Weight | 71 kg |
| Height | 1.80 m |
| Position | Forward |
After appearing regularly for Crystal Palace in the second half of 1999-2000, Leon found himself mostly restricted to appearances from the subs bench at the start of 2000-01 and, in October, he made a permanent move to Peterborough United where he had previously enjoyed two successful loan spells.
He arrived to a hero's welcome and didn't disappoint the Posh fans, finishing as the club's leading scorer despite some niggling injury problems.
He is a talented striker, lightning-quick and more than a match for most lower division defenders.
Leon joined Norwich City in December 2003 for an initial £625,000 fee with a contract up to June 2007.
He joined Coventry City in August 2006 with a three-year contract.
Leon joined Charlton Athletic in September 2009 with a one-year contract.
He joined Northampton Town in September 2010 with a one-year contract.
