The staff around the tunnel got to him first.
Hands came out from both sides as Leo walked through, Wigan staff and stadium workers clapping his back and offering quick high-fives as he passed.
Leo returned them all, still smiling from the win.
Above the tunnel, supporters leaned over the barriers, calling his name and holding their phones out.
"Leo!"
"Leo, over here!"
They were frantic with Leo, even fearing for their safety as some of them leaned down almost to the point of their legs hanging in the air.
He stopped a few times, taking pictures with those closest to him.
When one fan leaned too far over the barrier, Leo stepped back and gestured for them to stay where they were before taking the picture from a safer distance.
He had just turned away from another phone when a hand touched his shoulder.
Leo looked back and found one of the league's representatives pointing towards the pitch.
"Sorry to disturb, but you have a Premier League interview to attend!"
