Josh Blake is THE modern day Leamington FC legend. Our record appearance holder, our record goalscorer, he was Jason Cadden's first signing for the club and made his debut in our first competitive fixture at the New Windmill Ground as an 18 year old, announcing himself to a Brakes fans new and old with two goals, and for the next 9 seasons he continued to find the back of the net at every level he played at.
Josh's appetite for the game and will to win epitomised all of Cadsey's Leamington teams, and he left the club in 2009 after a well deserved testimonial match with a decent haul of medals having helped Brakes to 5 promotions, 4 league titles and several cup wins. Arguably one of the greatest players to pull on a Leamington shirt ever...
