Body: 
As quoted form the Herald Sun COLLINGWOOD ruck legend Len Thompson died of a heart attack at home today, three weeks after his 60th birthday. Early reports suggest he fell at home, at the time of his shock death. The winner of the 1972 Brownlow Medal and five Copeland Trophies, he was a member of Collingwood's Team of the Century. The Magpies recruited the 200cm Thompson from North Reservoir and he went on to play 268 games for the club in a career at Victoria Park between 1965 and 1978. He later played 20 games for South Melbourne and 13 for Fitzroy. ----------------------- Len Thompson did coach Preston in the late 1980s. He was a frequest visitor to vfl matches watching williamstown or Port Melbourne at most games. [/b]
