He also appeared in the Southern League for Ipswich Town and Colchester United. CareerBorn in Wolverhampton, Astill played as a youth for Horden Road and Old Hall schools in Wolverhampton, before joining local club Heath Town, and then being picked up by hometown Football League club Wolverhampton Wanderers. After only two appearances for Wolves, he moved to Blackburn Rovers in 1935 having gained England Junior caps during the 1934–35 season. He signed for a fee of £3,000, but could only manage three appearances and one goal at Ewood Park.[2][3] Astill moved to East Anglia from Blackburn to Ipswich Town in 1937, where he scored 12 goals in 27 league games during his solitary season at the club.[2] For Astill to remain at Portman Road, Ipswich needed to stump up a £1,000 fee for his signing, but the club refused despite the player being second-top scorer for the 1937–38 season, and so moved on to neighbours Colchester United. The move to Colchester proved fruitful for Astill as he helped the club secure the Southern League title in his first season.[3][4] After his debut on 27 August 1938 in a 2–0 win over Gillingham[5] and scoring his first goal against Yeovil & Petters United in an 8–1 thrashing on 10 September,[6] Astill ended his first season with 13 goals in 27 league appearances,[7][8] but his time at the club was cut short with the outbreak of World War II and the cancellation of the 1939–40 season, where he made only three appearances.[9] Personal lifeThe War spelt the end of Astill's playing career, and he became an on-course bookmaker in Telford, before becoming a newsagent and then settling in Walsall working as a market trader for almost 30 years.[3] Leonard Astill died on 25 March 1990.[2] Honours
