The Lion Who Never Roared

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"Matt Tiller's beautifully written and strikingly illustrated book about Leslie's life is both a labour of love about an authentic local hero wronged, but also a wonderfully detailed account of the life and times at a lower league English club in the inter-war years... Tiller has ensured that Jack Leslie's name will never be forgotten." * When Saturday Comes * "Too many stories from the days before social media and 24/7 rolling sports news coverage have disappeared from our collective consciousness. We should be grateful to Tiller for reclaiming this one." * Times Literary Supplement * "A beautifully written and fitting tribute for a unfairly overlooked legend." -- Josh Widdicombe "Inspiring and important. An extraordinary life story." -- Viv Anderson MBE "Moving, sad and uplifting. Everyone should know the legend of Jack Leslie." -- Matt Barlow * Daily Mail * "An evocative and gripping portrait of a remarkable football pioneer." -- Debbie Hewitt * Chair of the FA * "This is a fascinating and eye-opening read. It's also evocative... and it flows at a nice pace. Indeed, upon finishing the book you feel in awe of everything Jack Leslie did manage to achieve." * Argyle Life * "Well researched and written... the author examines all the evidence." * The Devon Historian *
