When Jack Leslie was selected to play for England in 1925, no one could have imagined what would happen next. Being the first ever black player to be selected to play for his country, Jack's elation soon turned to disbelief when his name was dropped from the list for no apparent reason. Fast forward almost 100 years and a campaign to honour this incredible footballer raised over £100,000 for a permanent statue of Jack at his club, Plymouth Argyle.
But that's not the end of the story, as we discover from Matt Tiller, author of The Lion That Never Roared and who, alongside Greg Fozsmith, have now raised over £140,000 on Crowdfunder - find out how they did it, so you can do the same for a cause close to your heart. We are also delighted to chat to Jack's granddaughter Leslie on this episode. Hear how she grew up with a famous footballer as a grandfather, and how much the statue and his ongoing legacy means to the whole family.
Host Philippa Forrester is also joined by Crowdfunder's co-CEO Simon Deverell as we also explore the benefits of charities using the Crowdfunding platform.
