Magpie star drops in

19/04/2008

ENIGMATIC Collingwood player Leon Davis thrilled Berwick Lodge Primary School students when he dropped in for a footy clinic recently.
The exciting player took several lucky children through a skills session as part of a program that involves Collingwood players paying a visit to their young fans throughout the suburbs.
Davis was in the news for all the wrong reasons earlier this week after his club suspended him for this Sunday’s blockbuster match against Carlton.
The 121-game veteran produced an outstanding display against Adelaide but broke a team rule only hours after the match, which resulted in his one-game suspension.
