Leslie Santos

During his peak (1983–1997), Santos played for South China. His career was disrupted by two cruciate ligament injuries to his left knee after tearing it in the final match of the 1992–93 season against British Forces which sidelined him for eight months, and then tearing it again during a league match against Sing Tao in 1993–94 after a heavy tackle by Ian Docker which took 3 years for rehabilitation. He was twice awarded Footballer of the year and he rounded off his career with Sun Hei. Santos took over as coach for Sun Hei in the 2008–09 Hong Kong League Cup and took them to victory in the final over Pegasus where they won 6-4 on penalties after the match finished 2–2, thus ending his coaching career in glory. Santos was award Best Coach of the Year for this victory. Santos was surprised by the award because he only coached for a short time.

Santos is married and on 29 August 2011, his wife gave birth to a daughter. This was his second daughter.
