Lets say i have

 t = {Player1}  -- Assume player1 is a Player

then Player1 leaves the game

would t still have a reference to player1? and thus have a memory leak if i don't set its value to nil?

Yes, you still have a reference to the player object. It won't be garbage collected until you lose the reference.
