Leonidas Cecil Bott (14 July 1889 – 21 August 1968) was an Australian cricketer and engineer who played 14 first-class matches for Western Australia between 1912 and 1925. Born in Adelaide, Bott was educated at Perth Boys' School and Christian Brothers' College, and later received a scholarship to study at the University of Adelaide. He played WACA grade cricket with North Fremantle, Perth, North Perth and Mount Lawley, and also played a number of games for Western Australia before and after the First World War, captaining the side in two matches in 1922 and 1924.[1] Bott worked as an engineer, and was involved in the construction of the Kalgoorlie–Port Augusta railway in 1912.[2] He later served as assistant-superintending engineer at the Victorian Postmaster-General's Department.[3] In 1953, he was awarded the Coronation Medal of Queen Elizabeth II.[4]
Bott was named in the Perth Cricket Club Team of the Century in 2012.
