Leslie Norman "Les" Roebuck (10 November 1885 – 18 May 1973)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Geelong in the Victorian Football League (VFL). He was also a leading tennis player.[2]
Roebuck is on record as weighing only 57 kg, during his football career at Geelong, where he played for four seasons.[3]
Recruited from Geelong West, Roebuck was Geelong's leading goalkicker in the 1906 VFL season, with 21 goals.[3] [4] His best goal tally in a game was five, which he got against Melbourne at Corio Oval in 1907.[5]
Roebuck played regularly on the tennis circuit and competed at the 1914 Australasian Championships. In the opening round he defeated W. C. Marsden, then conceded a second round walkover to two-time former champion Rodney Heath, who went on to make the semi-finals.[6] [7]
