Leslie Frederick 'Bunny' Abbott OAM (1915–2011) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s.
Les "Bunny' Abbott was graded in 1935 in Third Grade. The following season he played every First Grade season game and looked to have a long future with St. George,[2] unfortunately in the 1937 season, he was dogged with injury and he retired. He was later to help organise and establish rugby league in Lithgow, New South Wales at the St. Pat's Club.[3]
