Louis Leslie Polychone (1914-1973) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s.[2]

Playing career

Graded from the Arncliffe junior club in 1931, Les Polychrone had a long career at St. George although his career was interrupted by a severe injury received in a car accident in 1938.[3] Polychrone spent most of his career in Reserve Grade as either the vice captain or captain, and was highly regarded as a loyal clubman. He was a member of the team that in 1938 won St. George's Reserve Grade premiership.[4] Polychrone retired at the end of the 1939 season.

Polychrone also enlisted and served in the Australian Army during World War II.[5] He died at Tahmoor, New South Wales on 6 March 1973.[6]
