Leslie Hunter (born 5 January 1958) is an English former professional footballer who played as a centre-back.
Career Born in Middlesbrough, Hunter played for Chesterfield, Scunthorpe United, Lincoln City and Matlock Town.
Hunter's 15 year association with Chesterfield ended on 3 February 1989 when he agreed a lump sum settlement to end his contract with the club. He immediately joined Matlock Town, making his Northern Premier League debut for the club in the 2-1 home victory over Rhyl the following day. In August 1991 he joined Buxton, and made his debut in the club's opening day 3–1 home defeat to Morecambe in the Northern Premier League on 24 August 1991. In March 1993 he was confirmed as having been accepted into the Derbyshire Constabulary, and whilst he remained on Buxton's books, the career change meant that he would no longer play regularly.
