Len Gale was a wily and stylish rover who played 58 VFL games and booted 54 goals for Fitzroy between 1920 and 1924. He was a member of the Maroons' victorious 1922 Challenge Final team against Collingwood, but was missing from the line-up the following year when the Roys went under to Essendon. He was a prominent performer for his side during the 1924 round robin finals series which saw Fitzroy beat Richmond but lose to both Essendon and South Melbourne.
