BiographyMeek, who was born in Ballarat, came down from Ararat to play for St Kilda.[1][2] He was selected for the opening round of the 1941 VFL season on the back of a nine-goal haul in a practise game, but played most of his football at St Kilda across half-back.[2][3] In round two he appeared in the first ever VFL game held at Kardinia Park.[4][5] His VFL career was interrupted by war service, while he played 37 games from 1941 to 1943, he missed the entire 1944 and 1945 seasons.[4][6] He returned in 1946 and made 11 appearances, although he had to sit out eight weeks through suspension, for kicking Melbourne player Jack Mueller in round nine.[4][7] In 1947 he played in only one game before leaving early in the season for New South Wales, as the new playing coach of Ganmain.[4][8] He coached Ganmain to back to back South Western District Football League premierships in 1948 and 1949.[9][10] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?serviceId=A&veteranId=565599|title=World War Two Nominal Roll|publisher=Government of Australia|accessdate=18 September 2015}} 2. ^1 {{cite book|last1=Holmesby|first1=Russell|last2=Main|first2=Jim|title=The Encyclopedia Of AFL Footballers| publisher=BAS Publishing|year=2007|isbn=9781920910785}} 3. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article8154830 |title=More Pace at Richmond. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne, Vic. |date=21 April 1941 |accessdate=18 September 2015 |page=9 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/L/Les_Meek_gm.html|title=AFL Tables - Les Meek - Games Played|publisher=AFL Tables|accessdate=18 September 2015}} 5. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article8163268 |title=Football of High Grade. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne, Vic. |date=5 May 1941 |accessdate=18 September 2015 |page=10 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 6. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article180304271 |title=Sportsmen All. |newspaper=The Sporting Globe |location=Melbourne, Vic. |date=8 August 1942 |accessdate=18 September 2015 |page=2 Edition: Edition2 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 7. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article22252485 |title=League Players Suspended. |newspaper=The Argus |location=Melbourne, Vic. |date=21 June 1946 |accessdate=18 September 2015 |page=17 |publisher=National Library of Australia}} 8. ^{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article145151047 |title=Victorian to Coach Ganmain; Keen Aust.
