Matt Tiller tells the story of The Lion Who Never Roared: The Star Robbed of England Glory.

The Lion Who Never Roared is the heart-breaking yet inspiring story of Jack Leslie, who was selected for England in 1925. He was denied the chance due to his skin colour but bounced back scoring 137 goals in 400 games for Plymouth Argyle and became the first black captain in the Football League. A statue now stands in his honour, a legacy restored.

Matt Tiller co-founded The Jack Leslie Campaign, which successfully fundraised for a statue and continues to tell this pioneering black footballer’s story. Matt is a radio and TV writer/producer for the BBC, Sky and Channel 4. His first job as a radio reporter covered Leslie’s club, Plymouth Argyle. Matt studied history at Oxford and through research, campaigning and working with Jack’s family this book came to fruition. He is an Argyle fan.
