A second blue plaque honour for trailblazing black footballer
Daily Express
|May 16, 2025
THE remarkable career of the first black footballer to receive an England call-up will be honoured with a second blue plaque.
John “Jack” Leslie, who played for Plymouth Argyle between 1921 and 1934, was selected for the national team in 1925. But the striker was denied an England appearance because of the colour of his skin after selectors discovered his heritage.
The London-born former Argyle captain died aged 87 in 1988.
