McLeod was a member of Canada’s first-ever World Cup soccer team, scoring the nation’s first goal in the tournament. As an 18-year-old, he was a member of the national team that toured the Soviet Union in 1960.
McLeod, who played four times for Canada, was also a dominating force on the provincial soccer scene. As a member of the B.C. All-Star team, McLeod put the provincial squad on the map – including a vaunted win over touring Tottenham Hotspur.
He was inducted into the Canadian Soccer Hall of Fame in 2005, as well as the B.C. Softball Hall of Fame.
