LAHAD dee jays

SM: On a final note, are there any funny mishaps/cock-ups that have taken place that come to mind when you think about your career so far?

SPG: Mishaps are inevitable and I prefer to call them ‘learning points’. Although, I do have some cool anecdotes. Carlton Cole loves LAHAD and will stop for a dance whenever he swings past, so does Marlon Harewood. One time, I was playing at a shirt signing event featuring my all time favourite West Ham player, Alan Devonshire. There was a long cue. Alan was signing shirts for two hours. I could see him bobbing his head to the beats. When he finished, he walked over, shook my hand and said “Thank you that was great, it was like you were playing quality tunes from my era, you kept me going”. My jaw dropped. I said, “Thanks, I was playing for you, and I want to say I thought only Glenn Hoddle kept you out of the England team, even though you had breath taking skills, flair and more pace”. Alan Devonshire is the most modest bloke. He smiled gently and said “I’m not sure about that”. So I have played records for my favourite football hero, he enjoyed it and said thanks. I happen to have the best Saturday job in the world.

RAISING FUNDS FOR A STATUE OF JACK LESLIE TO HONOUR THE FOOTBALLER DENIED AN ENGLAND CAP IN 1925, JUST BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK.

=============================

He never played a first-team match for West Ham United, but Jack Leslie will forever be an East End football hero.

Born in Canning Town in August 1901, Leslie played for local club Barking Town as a teenager, helping The Blues win the London League Premier Division title in 1920/21.

In 1921, the centre forward joined Football League Division Three side Plymouth Argyle, where he would spend the next 13 seasons, score nearly 150 goals in more than 400 senior appearances.

During his time at Home Park, Plymouth finished as runners-up no fewer than six seasons in a row between 1921/22 and 1926/27, before finally winning the title and promotion in 1929/30.

So good were Leslie’s performances that, in 1925, he was informed by the Pilgrims’ long-serving manager, Bob Jack, that he had received a call-up to the England squad, only for his name to be missing when the side was formally announced.

Although it was impossible to prove, the widely held belief is that the reason his England selection was rescinded was the colour of his skin.

Jack Leslie was black.

Following his retirement from playing in 1935, Leslie turned out in a charity match at Upton Park, featuring for Fairbairn House Boys’ Club Old Boys against West Ham, before returning to east London on a permanent basis in the 1960s.

Then, he joined the Hammers’ backroom staff under manager Ron Greenwood, working as the club’s boot-boy for over 15 years at Chadwell Heath and the Boleyn Ground.

It was Leslie who was responsible for ensuring the likes of Bobby Moore, Geoff Hurst, Martin Peters, Billy Bonds and Trevor Brooking were provided with the requisite footwear.

Leslie would spend hours cleaning and polishing the players’ boots, removing mud, touchline paint and other debris, before softening the leather using dubbin and shining them with polish.

On his retirement at the age of 80, in 1982, he was featured on ITV’s Big Match, being congratulated on a unique and historic career by manager John Lyall.

Jack Leslie passed away in 1988, but his place in the history of football in this country should never be forgotten.
