Congratulations Matt Patti on an amazing footy journey with St Mary’s.
Matt ‘Lenko’ Patti’s arrived at St. Mary’s in 2011 and made an impact from day one, leading the Club’s Senior goal kicking with 35 goals in his debut season. He went on to lead it again in 2014 and was always crafty around a goal.
Lenko was a mainstay of the senior side for many year. He became a reliable and essential member of the senior team, often shouldering the load as the key forward and putting in hard work and on and off the field.
2018 was arguably his greatest year. As a playing coach he led the Reserves to an undefeated season concluding with a premiership victory!
Beyond his on-field contributions, Lenko also proved to be a true clubman. Even though he is now coaching elsewhere, he can still often be found at the Club and even hosted our $5k draw this year.
Since his departure, Matt ‘Lenko’ Patti has been missed, but his impact remains and he will always be a big part of the Club’s history.
