The Lion Who Never Roared is the incredible story of Jack Leslie by Matt Tiller

In the excellent The Lion Who Never Roared, Matt Tiller tells the story of Plymouth Argyle’s Jack Leslie, the first Black player to be called up for England, only to be dropped because of the colour of his skin.

In 2020 ⁦Greg Foxsmith⁩ & I visited ⁦Barking FC⁩ fundraising for ⁦JackLeslieCamp⁩ Jack’s first club (1919-21) where he won acclaim and silverware and they’ve been hugely supportive. Delighted to be back (with slightly better hair) for a book signing 2-3pm today

SUPER SATURDAY: It's going to be a big Saturday at the Lawtech Stadium as we have numerous goings-on alongside our match v Ilford FC, including a talk and signing by the author of Jack Leslie's biography - Matt Tiller!

Post-match will also see our fundraising Race Night!

Thanks CJ… though we are still smarting a little from last night! Glad you got to have a look at the statue. Always great to see away fans checking it out and learning more about Jack’s story…

Delighted to be returning to Barking on 24th Feb, where Jack Leslie’s football journey began, to talk about The Lion Who Never Roared. Loved researching Jack’s early life and teenage years…

Delighted to see The Lion Who Never Roared get a fine reviewfrom John Williams in the latest When Saturday Comes.

“Beautifully written and strikingly illustrated….”
