Jack had an illustrious career at Plymouth Argyle with 137 goals in 400 games. He became the leagueâ€™s first black captain before an eye injury forced him to retire. In his 60s he joined West Ham United â€¦ to shine the boots of World Cup winners like Bobby Moore.

Drawing on material from the Leslie family archive, Jackâ€™s legacy is unfurled in this heart-breaking yet inspiring biography, which includes contributions from Viv Anderson, the first black player to win a full England cap, and Sir Trevor Brooking.
